This remembers me of a problem I had with printerdrake (but sure related to samba also). I gave up because I had more urgent things to do, but I detected a problem. I want to add a windows printer via samba. Auto detect did not work. I tried to add the printer manually. All works fine until I try to print a test page. Printerdrake tried to use something like 'smbprint', but I only have samba3. So it is really named 'smbprint3'. I think that autodetecting also fails because some like 'smblient' is not there, because samba3 provides 'smbclient3'. So, in short, samba3 and samba need a good amount of 'alternatives' to get everything working. Or make them incompatible and add a few symlinks in samba3 package. Can somebody confirm this is really a bug, so I fill an entry in bugzilla ? Or I'm forced to install both samba's ? -- J.A.
