Hello Tomoo

I have the same problem here. I fix/workaround by stopping smbd deleting
the var/lib/samba/printers dir and the ntprinters.tbd file. Then start 
smbd again and everything works again. But not for long :(
After some time the problem returns.

The user trying to access the printer (in my case only one of 6 printers 
is affected) gets following messages in the logfile:

[2004/05/11 14:56:17, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(36)

Do you get similar output ?

Does anyone know how to fix this ??
