re #44,45,46

Apologies in advance if I've mis-understood the interactions here.

Can you please post the preferred workaround?

I have this exact issue in a fully-patched lucid (10.04.2) deployment that has already chewed up hours of my time over the past week. It started with VMware ws7 not being able to use a 2nd PCI parallel port, which, after my dis-belief passed, pushed me to kludge it with samba and cups and raw print queues, only to find this bug (after 3 or 4 cold starts to confirm yet another WTF?! moment). All I really want is for smbd to start after cups, in a way that won't come back and bite me in the [ah] when the packages get updated in the future (at a remote client site)

I don't plan to test the proposed patch as described in #49, since this machine is going into production ASAP (see comments about hours of time invested over a week)
