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

[Rick Flower]

Ok.. I've taken your suggestion and changed the lpr commands so that they
fully
specify the lpr commands (ie. "/usr/ucb/lpr" instead of just "lpr" under
Solaris 2.6).
I've restarted Samba and it is working fine now -- so far.  I'll keep an eye
on it and
see if the problem is still lurking around after the next scheduled reboot
(next Sunday).
If the problem does go away, perhaps this needs to be put in the
Printing.doc file.

Also, we are starting our Samba from the /etc/rc2.d startup directory, and
not from
inetd.

P.S.  Sorry about the Mime crud.. I didn't notice until the message already
went out
        (and I got a copy of it through the list) that I sent it with
Mime/HTML formatting.
        I've rectified the situation and all of my listservs are now set for
plain-text only.
