You'll have to be more clear.  If you used tdbtool to
remove an entry you bypass any constency checking that
smbd would do for printers and drivers.  So you could
say delete a driver record but the driver name is still
stored in the printer record.

The tdb files trhemselves are mmap()'d so there is no
caching of driver objects in memory.  There was some
caching of printer objects up to 3.0.20 or so.



cheers, jerry
