[Samba] Question with Samba and CUPS

Hello,

I have implemented an extremely simple CUPS server through Samba.  CUPS
version is 1.1.15 and Samba is 2.2.5.

I have a strange problem:  clients (Windows NT, 2000 and 98) as well as
smbclient from other Linux boxes are able to print to the server the first
few documents (1, 2 or maybe 5). Afterwards, any document sent to the
server for printing just disappears (it doesn't even show on the queue, and
clients get no error message).  In order to get to print again, Windows
clients need to do a net use /delete for the printer port and then recreate
it (net use lpt1:  printer_uri pwd  /user:user_name) or restart smbclient
(Linux clients).

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
