Description of problem: The printing backend is initialized before we setup the winreg pipe. This means that printing database migration from 3.5 or earlier to 3.6 fails. We already have a patch which has been tested by Samba customers and confirmed to be working. THIS IS CRITCAL FOR US! How reproducible: Always with Samba 3.6.6. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Samba 3.5.x 2. Create a printer so that you have nt printing databases in /var/lib/samba 3. Stop Samba 4. Install Samba 3.6 5. Start Samba (the printers should automatically be migrated from the nt printing database to the samba registry)
