Greetings. 

I'm seeing an odd problem with 3.0.10 and 3.0.11 here. 

We have some pdf printers defined: 

[Accounting pdf printer]
  printer admin = "DOMAIN+Domain Users"
  browseable = yes
  path = /pdfdropbox/Accounting
  printable = yes
  writeable = no
  print command = /usr/bin/preprintpdf %s -r
  lpq command =
  lprm command =

The /usr/bin/preprintpdf just passes the job on:

#! /bin/sh
OUTDIR=/pdfdropbox
/usr/bin/printpdf -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 "$1"
rm $1

The /usr/bin/printpdf converts the file to a pdf with ghostscript. 

With 3.0.7 everything worked fine. Jobs could be printed, the pdf's
showed up and the queue was fine. 

With 3.0.10 or 3.0.11, the pdf's show up fine, but the queue never
shows the jobs as completed. They continue to show up in the queue
until samba is restarted. Note that the spool files are removed fine,
so it's some internal samba state thats still reporting the jobs in
the queue. 

With debug = 10, We see in the logs: 

[2005/02/11 18:01:53, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
  tdb(/var/lib/samba/printing/IT pdf printer.tdb): tdb_lock failed on list 1717 ltype=1 (Bad file descriptor)
[2005/02/11 18:01:53, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
  tdb(/var/lib/samba/printing/IT pdf printer.tdb): tdb_lock failed on list 480 ltype=1 (Bad file descriptor)
[2005/02/11 18:01:53, 0] printing/printing.c:print_queue_update_internal(1201)
  print_queue_update: failed to store MSG_PENDING flag for [IT pdf printer]!

We have tried removing the tdb files and restarting, but that seems to
have no effect. 

Any ideas? Happy to provide any further information.
