Dear Klaus,
I had a similar problem when a network printer suddenly was not
accessible anymore. Only deleting of some .tdb files could solve
the problem, but unfortunately not for long :(
Jerry, from the samba team recommended to upgrade to 3.04, because
there is a known bug which has been fixed in this release.
Now everything works fine :)
best regards
Andreas
