The dependence of some WinXX applications on a match between printing
IDs during a print spool operation and during subsequent print queue
query operations led to the development of the new tdb database
module. The motivation was to provide a persistant mappping between
internal spooling structures and the underlying print system.
For Samba 3.0 a new printing backend that uses an internal print queue
database will be implemented. This will solve a number of problems
with the existing printing backend, that so far have required nasty
hacks to work around.
