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 ?
As the alternatives facility is there and it is really useful here, I think you should file a bug for this on bugzilla, either for the "samba" or the "samba3" package.
