For lack of a better solution, I deleted my ntprinters.tdb, restarted smbd to build a new one, and relinked my printers to drivers. It would be nice to know where Samba is caching that information, though. We use the Comment and Location fields to help our end users locate the printer and to understand some of it capabilities (duplex, color, etc). If we have to move a printer or we add a duplexer, rebuilding all of the printers to correct the comments is a real downer.

I've got the same problem with the server comments. I added a comment to the Samba server (server string = blah) which appeared straight away, but when I saw how it appeared on the client machines I removed it. That was eight months ago, and the client PCs are still showing the old server string - so I've given up now and decided to live with it, as it's being cached somewhere but I haven't the faintest idea where. Cheers, Adam.
