If you look select the printer's parameters using SWAT, and hit "commit
changes", 
the stuff is added to the local copy of smb.conf, and the current
comments are
displayed by smbclient -L servername. Thus, I suppose, if you then
re-install
this printer on a Win box, it should show the current comment.

Obviously the comments aren't treated as very important (as with me).
