Yes, exactly the same way.

Simply suddenly i've lost all printer (eg, lost printer<->driver
association,
and printer names). I'm curious on where these info get saved, because if i
backup a TDB i can, at least, restore or extract/dump some info and setup
printers back.

Note that in windows printer names are important, if you change printer name
user smply lost them, so i've to restore exactly the printer name as before.

Note also that i lost exactly only printer<->driver association and
printer
names: driver are still available and printer are there, provided by CUPS.

Note also that, if i restore driver and printer name, i get back exactly the
(default) printer configuration as before, so seems that (most of the)
printer settings are still there.
