[Bug 587548] [NEW] Samba fails to share printer in 10.04

[MagnusPI]

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
igor at hjemme:~$ smbclient -L /192.168.1.2
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[STRINGA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7]

	Sharename       Type      Comment
	---------       ----      -------
	print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
	IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (hjemme server (Samba, Ubuntu))


After restarting smbd
igor at hjemme:~$ smbclient -L /192.168.1.2
Domain=[STRINGA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7]

	Sharename       Type      Comment
	---------       ----      -------
	print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
	IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (hjemme server (Samba, Ubuntu))
	LaserJet-1100   Printer   Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1100


Here you can see that the smbd is started before cups
igor at hjemme:~$ ps aux | grep smb
root       598  0.0  0.0  15304   312 ?        Ss   15:02   0:00 smbd -F
root       667  0.0  0.0  15304    96 ?        S    15:02   0:00 smbd -F


igor at hjemme:~$ ps aux | grep cups
root       832  0.0  0.1   6824   568 ?        Ss   15:02   0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
