Comment 26 for bug 329974

I forgot to mention but I had the same problem, I put Samba4 on thinking
that would help but it did not, and I then did a complete removal of all the
samba4 and any other samba I could and then did a reinstall of samba via
synaptic. However this did NOT install the smbclient. I am puzzled by this
as it is part of the samba install..It could have been that samba was
running when I tried to do the synaptic reinstall. If this makes no sense to
anyone then perhaps someone can tell me why I had the " use samba
printers...." showing in the printing GUI with 8.01 then it dissapeared
when I upgraded to 9.04.
