[Samba] Samba 3.0.2a printing to Laserjet5 from access 2002 or higher

[Roger Crom]

First thank you in advance for any help you may give

I have brought up Samba 3.0.2a all is working very well except in
a very specific instance on redhat 8.0

Compiled from sources with the bugzilla tracking patch 1147 installed
though we had this problem before 1147 was installed

When trying to print, print preview, or even generate a new report from
access 2002 or newer and only when an HP laserjet 5 is the default printer
we get the following errors from XP

       A very generic unable to create report message is generated

No messages generated on the server side

All other printing appears to work well, in fact if the default printer is
any other HP printer (laserjet 4m, laserjet 8000, laserjet 8100, etc)
there appears to be no problem.

Printing directly to the printer using a tcp/ip port works also

Printers are all lpr printers with jetdirect interfaces setup as raw 
print queues using printconf

relevant printer entires are marketing, accounting

smb.config as follows:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/02/27 10:20:13
