Help! I'm in the process of migrating my companies Windows NT print
server to Samba 3.2. (yea) But I'm running into a few problems. (boo)
I've searched the archives and google with no success...

I have about 15 clients testing out the new server, mainly Win2k. Some
work fine, but others have problems connecting, getting the "Unable to
Connect" message in the printer folder.

Here is the log.smbd messages:

[2004/03/30 15:42:35, 2] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_out(746)
  error connecting to 192.168.115.56:139 (Invalid argument)
[2004/03/30 15:42:35, 1] libsmb/cliconnect.c:cli_connect(1261)
  Error connecting to 192.168.115.56 (Invalid argument)
[2004/03/30 15:42:35, 0]
rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:spoolss_connect_to_client(2588)
  spoolss_connect_to_client: unable to connect to SMB server on
machine LINUS2. Error was : SUCCESS

This occurs for a few different clients, all running Windows 2000.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am also getting this error, but I'm not sure if it's related or not:

[2004/03/30 15:42:07, 2]
rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:find_printer_index_by_hnd(268)
  find_printer_index_by_hnd: Printer handle not found:

[2004/03/30 15:42:07, 2]
rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c:find_printer_index_by_hnd(268)
  find_printer_index_by_hnd: Printer handle not found:
find_printer_index_by_hnd: Printer handle not found:
close_printer_handle: Invalid handle (OTHER:19846:20066)

Plus things seem to hang for a few minutes when trying to add
printers.

I'm running samba 3.2 binaries on HP-UX 11i. The binaries were
downloaded from the HP-UX Porting Archive. The server is part of a
Windows domain using domain security. I loaded the print drivers using
a Windows 2000 system.

TIA
