After almost every reboot, Samba printing is DOA under Solaris 2.6...

[Rick Flower]

I just thought that I would put this out there and see if anyone else 
sees this problem with Samba 1.9.18p4 (under Solaris 2.6).
 
It appears that after some reboots of Solaris, Samba printing is partly 
dead. What I see in the logs are below, and what happens is that the
file to be printed is spooled to /var/spool/samba, like always, but
when the lpr command is issued it croaks.  I've been able to play
with it and sometimes find that once I get it working, it is good until
the next reboot (of Solaris).  Now, the return status is 256, which
really doesn't tell me anything as the man page for the Solaris lpr
command states :
 
EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:
     0         Successful completion.
     non-zero  An error occurred.
 
Now, the interesting thing is that I CAN issue the same exact lpr command
by hand and it works fine (after the fact).  The one thing that bothers me is that
according to the logs, Samba is closing the file AFTER the lpr command is issued!
I'm wondering if this is just a simple file-locking issue?!?


my current protection settings on the /var/spool/samba directory are as follows :

drwxrwxrwx   2 root     other        512 May  8 15:25 samba

 
Any ideas are appreciated!
