I disagree. It's my understanding that this is a longstanding bug in samba for failing to sanely poll cups for information about available print queues. Even if cupsys *was* changed to only return from the init script after the printer lists have been made available, smbd still has a bug in not handling changes to the CUPS printer list. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
