Is there a way to transfer a Samba printer database from one version to
another? I tried copying the .tdb files from v2.2.6 to v2.2.8pre1 but it
didn't seem to work. Some sort of upgrade path is needed here - it's a lot
of work to start over if you've got a lot of printers.

Will this do what you want?
# printconf-tui --Xexport printers.xml
# printconf-tui --Ximport printers.xml

? Tnx for the reply but is this printconf-tui thing anything to do with
Samba?
The issue here is transferring things like driver mappings, default paper
size, default tray and so on when you change the version of Samba. (The
stuff a Windows Administrator sets in printer properties.) The driver
files themselves can be easily preserved or copied but the knowledge that
printer xyz is a HP Laserjet 4000 loaded with A4 paper in the lower tray
is stored somewhere in those mysterious .tdb files.
