[Samba] Samba 3 - pending print jobs not being shown

[daniel.jarboe at custserv.com]

Samba 3 linked against cups.  I have a problem that is best illustrated
when a printer is paused in cups.  When looking at the "Printers" folder
for a samba server, often documents is "0" even though there may be some
pending.  Manually refreshing will sometimes cause them to reappear or
dissapear.  Furthermore, listing jobs for the individual queue is broken
too.  Occassionally the jobs may reappear, but usually, whether
refreshing or not, the jobs aren't shown.  I've tried various lpq cache
time's without luck.  This is with printing = cups and printcap name =
cups.

For grins I've also tried without the cups libraries linked (with no
better luck).  The server is on a different subnet than the clients...
should that make a difference?  I also tried setting printing = sysv and
manually specifing the lpq command, and get similarly inconsistent
(usually worse, though) results.

Is anybody else seeing anything similar?
Thanks,
~ Daniel
