The spoolssd tries to register at epmd and fails if epmd is not configured. So we end up with smbd running but no spoolss support.
Just for documentation: Currently you need rpc_server:epmapper = external rpc_daemon:epmd = fork rpc_server:spoolss = external rpc_daemon:spoolssd = fork to enable spoolssd in smb.conf Andreas patch fixes this and rpc_server:spoolss = external rpc_daemon:spoolssd = fork is enough to get it working.
