Ok, i modified one of my queues -
[grdps]
comment = Grand Rapids Optra Laser Printer
path = /var/spool/samba/grdps
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
ls -l /var/spool/samba
total 0
drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 6 May 17 11:42 grdps
Restarted smbd, and it does the same thing.
I really appreciate the help, but i think your missing some important
facts -
1. UNIX printing works flawlessly (this box is an lpd server for lots of
unix clients).
2. Samba printing from both Win9x and WinY2k worked flawlessly under
2.2.1a, for a long time.
3. Printing does work, but only for awhile. And ONLY WinY2k clients are
effected, Win9x clients continue to print just fine
