Description Francisco Cano Entrena 2005-06-22 23:29:20 UTC 
Hello!

We have a Solaris server (SunOs 5.8) with Samba 3.0.10.
When I add a printer to the system, Samba doesn't recognize until I restart 
it. The relevant lines of my smb.conf are:

[global]
        workgroup = ADMINISTRACION
        netbios name = HATOR
        server string = Servidor de Administracion (Samba %v)
        interfaces = ce1
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        printcap name = lpstat
        print command = /usr/bin/lp -c -d %p %s; rm %s
        lpq command =  /usr/bin/lpstat -o %p
        lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %j %p
        lppause command = /usr/bin/lp -i %p-%j -H hold
        lpresume command = /usr/bin/lp -i %p-%j -H resume
        queuepause command = /usr/bin/disable %p
        printing = sysv

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/lp/samba
        create mask = 0700
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

Please, help me with this problem.
TIA.

You can manually force a reload by send a HUP signal
to smbd.  Or you can explore the 'printcap cache time'
option in never Samba releases.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
