and if you access the printer as a windows printer via samba, you would
need to restart samba when you make changes and then restart cups, the
changes aren't reflected in samba unless you restart samba too.
Interestingly enough, cups printers shared via samba do not need sharing
to the @local/local_lan because cups gets the files from samba on the
localhost and samba handles the permissions from the various users.
