The actual queues are on an NT server. This server
merely acts as a large spool area. Are you using
Samba as the spool area only or using Samba printing
support?
Our printouts are not fine (corrupt), and we are not
using a Windows print manager but a DOS BARR machine.
We look forward to using Samba again at a later
version; this might indeed be a bug that gets fixed
then.
