When updating from +Samba 3.5 or earlier to Samba 3.6 or 4.0 these tdbs need to be migrated to our +new registry based printing management. This means during the migration we +also need to do charset conversion. This can only been done manually cause we don't +know in which encoding the tdb is. You have to specify the correct code page +for the conversion, see iconv -l and Wikipedia [1] for the available codepages. +The mostly used one is Windows Latin1 which is CP1252. + +We've extended the 'net printing dump' and 'net printing migrate' commands to +define the encoding of the tdb. So you can correctly view the tdb with: + + net printing dump encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb + +or migrate it with e.g.: + + net printing migrate encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb + +If you migrate printers we suggest you do it in the following order. + +ntforms.tdb +ntdrivers.tdb +ntprinting.tdb + +Don't forget to rename, move or delete these files in /var/lib/samba after the +migration. + +[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page + + +###################################################################### +Reporting bugs & Development Discussion +####################################### + +Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by +joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. + +If you do report problems then please try to send high quality +feedback.
