Hello All, We have a problem with our samba-based print server (a redhat EL machine, running samba 3.2.8) occasionally getting corrupt ntprinters.tdb files. To combat it, I've been keeping nightly backups of the file, and restoring the latest whenever it crashes. This _almost_ works. When I restore the file, some of the printer settings - such as which driver it is using - seem to restore fine. But some others - such as Printer Status Notification, to pick one at random from the Device Settings tab - seem to reset to default values.
Are these settings stored in a different database? When I make changes to them through the Windows interface, the timestamp on the ntprinters.tdb file changes, and not much else (other than files I'd expect to change regularly anyways.) Is there a way to save and restore the printer settings (in some usefully programmatic way for a whole bunch of printers, rather than manually wading through a bunch of clicky windows re-doing them all one-by-one...) Thanks for any assistance, - rob. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
