This differs from distribution to distribution. It is a compile-time
option. IIRC, on my other box some of the tdbs were in /usr/lib/samba/

I don't understand what you mean with "users registry".
The *.tdb files relevant for printing are printing.tdb, nt_forms.tdb,
ntprinters.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb.
The the *.tdb stuff has changed slightly from 2.2.x to 3.0.
I guess you are running 2.2.x ?
The only thing I can say is that I have successfully restored the
whole printing setup covering dozens of printers already twice
(some time ago) by restoring the *.tdbs plus the other Samba files.
