[Samba] Uploading Only 64-bit Drivers to a Samba Print Server

Hi,

the Samba wiki says on

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Automatic_Printer_Driver_Downloads_for_Windows_Clients#Uploading_Only_64-bit_Drivers_to_a_Samba_Print_Server

Using the default setting, Samba reports itself as Windows NT x86 
architecture.

This seems not the case since Samba 4.7.x:

s3-spoolss: make us appear as a 64bit print server.
This makes us behave like all recent windows systems.

Found in:

https://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commit;h=92fc6a6c254703b771dec0b56b598c2684b4278a

I could not find this information in the change logs, the wiki is 
misleading and testparm is also not showing this information:

pvscsi # testparm -sv | grep spool
Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[netlogon]"
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[all]"
Processing section "[public]"
Processing section "[pdf]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.
idmap range not specified for domain '*'
ERROR: Invalid idmap range for domain *!

Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC

         disable spoolss = No
         path = /var/spool/samba
