samba - Jun 2006 - Printer comments and other weirdness

Am running Samba 3.0.20 on SuSE 10.0 and cups as my printer provider. I've
used the cups gui to create a number of printers. They appeared correctly in
my Printers and Faxes folder in Explorer and I uploaded my print drivers
successfully. Now, a few days later, I'm looking at my printers and I notice
that the comments that show up on the print shares themselves still reflect
some old data I originally entered. The comments appear correct under
Printers and Faxes, but not directoy under the server, nor in the view that
my users will access using the Add a Printer Wizard. I've looked at my
printers.conf and printcap files and the commens (Info blah blah blah) shows
up correctly. It also looks correct in the cups web interface. If I use
rpcclient, the information also looks correct and if I right click under
Printers and Faxes as an admin, they also look correct. So where is this
information coming from?

Also, under Printers and Faxes, I have one printer showing up twice and
another not appearing at all, although they appear correctly (less the
comments) as the share itself. I just can't figure out where all of the
little bits are stored for printer information - I'm assuming they exist in
multiple areas.  Here's my config:

smb.conf:

        idmap gid = 10000-50000
        template shell = /bin/bash
        winbind separator = +
        cups options = raw

        write list = root, "@MYDOMAIN+Domain Admins"

I've got the same problem with the server comments.  I added a comment
to the Samba server (server string = blah) which appeared straight
away, but when I saw how it appeared on the client machines I removed
it.  That was eight months ago, and the client PCs are still showing
the old server string - so I've given up now and decided to live with
it, as it's being cached somewhere but I haven't the faintest idea
where.

Cheers,
Adam.
