Samba-printer will not load during boot-up for natty

Asked by hal_ifax

On May 1st I upgraded to 'natty' and a problem re-occured, which was fixed(by chance?) for 'maverick' on my setup, but was existant for 'lucid' aswell:
Package samba's smbd won't activate the samba-printers after booting, but by doing a 'samba_restart'

sudo service smbd stop
sudo service smbd start
echo .
smbtree

everything is O.K. - . . . !

How can I get influence on the loading of smbd ?

Run:

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

add the 2 commands:

service smbd stop
service smbd start &

ABOVE the exit 0 line, save the new file and reboot to test.
