Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 24.04, /var/spool/samba directory is not provided by samba
package and shared printers can't be listed by smbclient command with
this historical samba share declaration as before :

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = no
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   guest ok = no
   read only = yes
   create mask = 0700

Creating manually the missing directory solve the problem :

$ mkdir /var/spool/samba
$ chmod 777 /var/spool/samba
$ chmod +t /var/spool/samba
