Don't know, if this also exists in previous versions:

If looking in the "printers and faxes" folder on the samba server, I can 
see an amount of documents in the colum "documents", but I know, there 
are no documents to print:

printers and faxes on deveis

name		documents	status		comment
add printer
laserjet	4		ready		laserjet on deveis
pdf		4		ready		laserjet on deveis

If waiting some time, the amount of documents reduces from 4 to zero.
If going back to \\deveis and some time later time to "printers and 
faxes", there are again 4 non existant documents to print for each printer.
Sometimes only on printer has 4 documents to print and the other zero or 
one has 4 and the other one 3.
If changing fast between "\\deveis" and "printers and faxes", the amount 
of documents is increasing with 4:


name		documents	status		comment
add printer
laserjet	4		ready		laserjet on deveis
pdf		4		ready		laserjet on deveis
...
name		documents	status		comment
add printer
laserjet	8		ready		laserjet on deveis
pdf		8		ready		laserjet on deveis
...
name		documents	status		comment
add printer
laserjet	12		ready		laserjet on deveis
pdf		12		ready		laserjet on deveis
...
name		documents	status		comment
add printer
laserjet	16		ready		laserjet on deveis
pdf		16		ready		laserjet on deveis
...


And so on.
