3.0.10 needs the printing patch at
http://samba.org/~jerry/patchges/post-3.0.10/
or else memory useage can explode due to an excessive
amount of print_queue_update() messages between smbd
processes.

This is fixed in 3.0.11pre1 (although the print jobs staying
in the queue list is apparently not).  3.0.11pre2 is due out
next week.








cheers, jerry
