Hi, Holger, would you please share your secret with me? How *do* you update the view onto printers from Windows clients without restarting Samba? For me it doesn't work since I noticed it a few months ago. Before that, I didn't notice, because I re-started smbd very often anyway (due to my experiments). I am using a range of CUPS versions (up to current CVS) and Samba up to 2.2.6. Windows clients are NT, 2K and XP -- none of the combinations worked. My "printcap" is updated immediately following the deletion or creation of a printqueue (I have more than ~30 regularly -- IIIRC I never tried it with a smaller number of queues...) Even "rpcclient --> enumprinters" doesn't show an update... What is your setup / versions / number of printqueues? I mailed to the Samba list several times about that already but never received any response (well once I was adviced to try SIGHUB, but that doesn't work either -- I really need to stop and start smbd)... Plus I was noticing others asking similar things (like you). Now *you* found it....
