[Samba] Upgrade to 2:4.16.2+dfsg-1nmu1~deb11.1 borks printing

[Aaron de Bruyn]

Hey Rowland,

I did see that thread.
I don't have a /var/cache/samba/printer_list.tdb.

# find /var/cache/samba -iname '*print*'
/var/cache/samba/printing
/var/cache/samba/printing/printers.tdb
#

I did try stopping Samba and CUPS at one site and I removed the printers.tdb file, then started Samba and CUPS. That didn't resolve the issue.
