Ahem... WHAT ldb database?! ;-)

I've tried to dump/strings all TDB and LDB databases of my print server, but
i've found nothing...

Uh. Oh... i've query my AD for 'Printers' and i've effectively found some
object 'printQueue'; so printer and driver association is on AD?

So i've lost a bit of my AD... Mmmh.... Anyway, thanks:

	ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -b "DC=ad,DC=fvg,DC=lnf,DC=it" "objectClass=printQueue" serverName name description driverName > backup

printer saved. ;-)
