RPC printing devmode problem with 3.0.0beta

I just upgraded our server here to 3.0.0beta from 2.2.8a. I also installed (via
cupsaddsmb) the CUPS-Samba generic postscript driver, and configured a pair of
Windows 2000 clients to use the Samba-exported printers and the generic driver.
Most things are working fine, however when one of the clients tries to print a
complex document with Microsoft Publisher 2000, Publisher starts printing and
then reports an error. The error generates some traffic in the Samba log, which
said to report it to samba-technical, so I'm doing so! Once this error occurs,
the client can no longer connect to _any_ Samba printers until they close their
connection to the server (usually by rebooting). Any attempts to connect to a
print (even to just display the printer's status in the Control Panel/Printers
window) cause the client to report that the printer was not found on the server.
I suspect smbd is getting itself in a bad state and can no longer respond to
printing requests properly.

I can provide a higher log level log if desired, or try other things. Let me
know how to proceed from here.
