You mean this is still a problem in 2.2.5 and 2.2.6? And what can I do
if I don't have a share for each printer, but just a general [printers]
share?

I have problems to: In my setting, the samba spool files aren't deleted
after succesful printing. I have compiled Samba 2.2.5 from a Debian
source package, and I assumed that its prepared to compile with
libcups2. I admit I didn't check (and cannot do this right now). Could
this be the reason?
