I've been largely able to do this by copying everything in the
/var/lib/samba directory, then removing all the tdb's in
/var/lib/samba/printing. (/var/lib might be something else depending on
your OS/config). You'd do this after installing the samba packages but
before joining a domain and starting the service. You'll also need to
copy all the printer drivers, which I put in /usr/share/samba/printers,
but that would depend on your print$ definition.
Doing it this way seems to work for about 95% of the printer drivers we
use, YMMV.

List,
I am deploying a number of Samba servers across a WAN. To date I have
manually uploaded printer drivers from an XP client to the Samba
server. But it's slow, and I systematically upload the same drivers
over and over again.
I'm not quite sure of the recipe, but I'm sure there must be a way of
replicating all the drivers, from a central point, out to the remote
servers. Copying the files is simple enough, but how do I make the
various .tdb files contain the right records?
Has anyone done something like this before?
Thanks,
David
