print spool directory filling up

Simo,

I logged in as user X and copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/print 

I then entered the lpr command:  lpr -r -Pmaxl5
/usr/local/samba/print/smb.conf

Again, the file printed fine but the file remained in
/usr/local/samba/print

The directory permissions on /usr/local/samba/print were:

drwxrwxrwx   2 root     other      68096 Aug 10 10:40 print/

I changed them by typing "chmod 1777 print" to:

drwxrwxrwt   2 root     other      68096 Aug 10 10:40 print/

But still had the same problem.

The user X can manually delete the file by typing rm
/usr/local/samba/print/smb.conf

Thanks for your help,  any more ideas?
