[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#726726: samba: Unable to share printer using cups

[Rene Hogendoorn]

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.0.10+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

With samba3, my printer was shared using "printing = cups".
After upgrading to samba 4.0.10, this does not work anymore.
Apparently, the daemon was compiled without cups support (see output of
testparm and smbd -b below).
smbd -b should output:
# smbd -b | grep CUPS
   HAVE_CUPS_CUPS_H
   HAVE_CUPS_LANGUAGE_H
   HAVE_CUPS
   HAVE_LIBCUPS
(according to
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server#Print_server_backend)
