I just upgrdaded to FreeBSD 5.2 CURRENT
and installed samba 3.0.3pre2.
I have copied /etc/printcap  and samba config
from the previous installtion (FreeBSD 4.8 and
samba 2.x)

Now,  i cannot print anything from windows xp
(i only have windows xps, so i cannot tell if it works
from other windows but i guess it does not).

When i printed the data is sent to the printer and
no error shows up on windows client, but nothing
really happens. Nothing printed.
lpr -Php1200 rawfile - work file
but printing via samba does not work.
I see filed from windows client spooled into
/var/spool/samba but then after a few seconds they
disappear and nothing happens.

I just don't known where the problem might be.

Here is my smb.conf
