[Samba] Printers configured using CUPS web interface disapper after restart

Hi all,

I set up a samba server as PDC and counfigured one local printer connected
to the samba server's parallel port and another jetdirect pritner with ip
192.168.0.10:9100 using the CUPS WEB INERFACE.  Both were working fine and I
could print from windwos clients also.

Samba server was configured on a test system. So saturday evening I shutdown
the system and today when I started the linux box, I could not find the
printers I have configured.  Just to test again I configured a parallel
printer again and restarted the linux (Fedora core 4) system and found that
the system is not showing any pritners, neither in cups config page nor in
Desktop->systemconfig->pritners option.

Could someone help me to understand why the printers vanish after a restart
and how can I keep them even after a restart?

Regards

Vinayan
