Description Andreas Schneider 2022-05-30 15:32:06 UTC 
The samba background daemon doesn't refresh the printcap cache on startup. It only refreshes it after the 'printcap cache time' elapsed. So you have to wait 5 minutes before spoolssd is able to find printers, but till then the process is already killed again ...
Comment 1 Andreas Schneider 2022-05-30 15:36:18 UTC 
Reproducer:

lpadmin -p testprinter -E -v /dev/null
smbpasswd -a root
bin/smbd
lpstat -l -p testprinter
rpcclient -Uroot localhost -c 'getprinter testprinter 2'
