Enabling this parameter will disable Samba's support
for the SPOOLSS set of MS-RPC's and will yield identical behavior
as Samba 2.0.x. Windows NT/2000 clients will downgrade to using
Lanman style printing commands. Windows 9x/ME will be unaffected by
the parameter. However, this will also disable the ability to upload
printer drivers to a Samba server via the Windows NT Add Printer
Wizard or by using the NT printer properties dialog window. It will
also disable the capability of Windows NT/2000 clients to download
print drivers from the Samba host upon demand.
Be very careful about enabling this parameter.
