[Samba] chinese characters

I upgraded to version Version 3.0.7-1.2sme01.

It seems to still not work, but noting what you say about leaving it as 
default, I see that I have a line :

"
unix charset = ISO8859-1
"

Should I just remove that line?

Also, I seemed to lose my printers (as when viewed from XP clients - 
works ok from 'lp'). Any ideas why that would be, and how to get them 
back again?

Max.
