Yes that's possible. I re-wrote the handle database code
for print handles between the last alpha snapshot and CVS
to make them per-pipe specific.

smbclient uses a different method of submitting print jobs,
it doesn't use the new rpc code.

Ok - if this is completely reproducible can you please
get me a debug level 10, client specific, smbd log file
and send it to me.

I suspected this may be an issue, in which case I need
to move the handle database to be pipe *name* specific
(ie. handles are useable between different instances of
the same pipe name) not specific to a particular instance
of a pipe.

It won't be a big change, I just need to see the log to
show I need to do it :-).

Thanks,
