Can't print when smb.conf is a symlink

[fgiusti]

I have some of my configuration files as symlinks, so I can easily have a backup with dropbox. But when I changed /etc/samba/smb.conf as a symlink, I couldn't print anymore.

If someone can help me track to which package this bug relates I would like to fill a bug report in debian.

Here are some information.
