We did not delete any printer, we just migrated the PDC funtionality to 
another machine with a newer Samba version. Workgroup and the domain SID are 
the same. The only change is that we switched from a local to a remote CUPS 
server.

Still would like to see an answer to this question:
Do the .tdb files which have something to do with printers have references to 
the workgroup name or do they use domain/local SID's (which are the same on 
the old and new server)? In other words: are we safe when the workgroup 
settings is changed after adding printers?
