[Samba] domain printer issues

[Neil L Thackeray]

Printing in 3.4.x is broken for the most part. It's only good for simple 
printing with WindowsXP 32 bit with certain drivers. Why this isn't 
being acknowledged by the SAMBA team is unknown. If you need a fully 
functional managed print server within a samba domain use 3.3.8.
