[Samba] Issue with printer sharing

[Sébastien Le Ray]

Hi,

I tried the log level param, it produced 46MB logs. Before digging into 
it I finally found another Windows 7 Pro box. The preference page worked 
here

I suspect a conflict. The machine I used to configure the samba server 
already had (long time ago) the printers installed on it, with different 
drivers version. Maybe it fails to update its registry or have some 
problem because the printers where installed with a local admin account 
whereas I use a Domain admin account.

Anyway, I'm not conviced it is a samba issue.

Thanks for your time

Sébastien
