Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
Smbd daemon starts before cups daemon and therefore fails to see and share
printer.
If you manually restart smbd, printers are seen.
Samba version: 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3
Without doing nothing after the system boot
i...@hjemme:~$ smbclient -L /192.168.1.2

Here you can see that the smbd is started before cups
i...@hjemme:~$ ps aux | grep smb
