Yes, the "Registry"....

Samba stores printer driver information (including DeviceMode etc.) in its own equivalent to the Windows Registry, the "*.tdb" files. These should also be restored to get everything up and running as before....
Hmmm... I've restored ALL the content of /etc/samba and /var/cache/samba.
Please tell me that there are other places where samba keeps tdbs...
This differs from distribution to distribution. It is a compile-time option. IIRC, on my other box some of the tdbs were in /usr/lib/samba/
Because otherwise I've restored them all. :-/ Is the printers "registry" different than the users one?
I don't understand what you mean with "users registry".
The *.tdb files relevant for printing are printing.tdb, nt_forms.tdb, ntprinters.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb.
The the *.tdb stuff has changed slightly from 2.2.x to 3.0.
I guess you are running 2.2.x ?
The only thing I can say is that I have successfully restored the whole printing setup covering dozens of printers already twice (some time ago) by restoring the *.tdbs plus the other Samba files.
Because the rest of the samba seems to be working domain auth and like.
