Weird Samba printing problem

[jwharks]

Here's hoping one of you guys know the answer to this one.

I have RH7.1 and Samba 2.2.2 running on 6 different servers.

4 of these work fine with file sharing and printing to SMB Windows printers.

On 2 sites, however, the print goes astray.

This is left in the spooler:

printer abc unknown state. enabled since Aug 16 2002...
available printer: rocheinserts@roche
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: removing job 'cfA758roche' - JREMOVE AT 10:18:38.254

If a print works correctly, I know that the job is flagged removed instead of removing. All print jobs use a guest account called smb.print and I use the same set-up on all my servers apart from changing WORKGROUP name to correspond to the local NT domain and also changing the WINS address.

The username and password and workgroup are definitely set correctly in the /var/spool/lpd/printername/script.cfg file.

Here is my smb.conf file: Any comments welcome

Thanks,

John Harkcom
