[Bug 967410] Re: Windows clients cannot connect to shared printers

One thing to be aware of that I noticed while testing.

Even with the patch applied, existing printers will not get updated
entries in the samba registry. I have found no other way than deleting
the registry file completely to get new entries created. I had to do the
following :

 $ sudo rm -f /var/lib/samba/registry.tdb
 $ sudo rm -f /var/cache/samba/printing/*
 $ sudo restart smbd
 $ sudo restart nmbd

Maybe there is a smarter way of cleaning it up but I haven't found it
