We included the printing-patch from #1519. hostname: vmdb07t # joined active directory 2003 relevant part of smb.conf (test for a clustered system with a floating ip&name): interfaces = 10.96.70.26 bind interfaces only = Yes socket address = 10.96.70.26 netbios name = sambatest when we connect to a configured printers via point and print we get an registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\sambatest\Printers\lanp099\DsSpooler" The value for "uNCName" is "\\VMDB07T\lanp099" but should be "\\sambatest\lanp099". We assume problems when switching our productive samba-application to the other host. Another problem is: If you don't set "netbios name" the value of "uNCName" is set to \\fqdn\printer for example: \\vmdb07t.universa.de\lanp099.

fixed in 3.0.11 by forcing the long name to NETBIOSNAME.domain name.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
