[Samba] completed printjobs stay in queue

[Brecht Samyn]

Jerry,
I'm very sorry for this late answer. I should tweak my mailfilters (I 
didn't expect an answer anymore so I didn't check my samba-mailfolder)

That's our situation:
- I tried to revert to 3.0.20rc2 and got the error again
- I installed 3.0.20 again and rebooted, and the problem went away! (I'm 
sure that all smbd, nmbd and winbindd daemons were killed before the 
previous upgrade)
- I upgraded to 3.0.20b last week (kill smbd, nmbd, winbindd; make 
install; start daemons again), and queues were broken again :-(

I installed samba 3.0.20b on a testmachine, with a config-file with the 
same pars as our production machine (jobs are send with the same lprng 
clients to the production lprng-printserver). The queue was ok on that 
test-machine (so I guess there's nothing wrong with our lprng setup)

Next, I tried to assemble some debug (level9) output from (one of the 
daemons of) our production machine:
- I connected via smbclient to one of our printers (with 1 job in the 
windows queue, non in the lpq)
- set debuglevel 9 of that daemon
- and issued the following commands:
smb: \> queue
1        88192        Microsoft Word - Oplossingen lindow.doc
smb: \> put /tmp/bla
putting file /tmp/bla as \/tmp/bla (0.0 kb/s) (average 0.0 kb/s)
smb: \> queue
1        88192        Microsoft Word - Oplossingen lindow.doc
2        5            Remote Downlevel Document /bla
smb: \> queue
1        88192        Microsoft Word - Oplossingen lindow.doc
2        5            Remote Downlevel Document /bla
smb: \> cancel 1
Error cancelling job 1 : NT_STATUS_OK
smb: \> queue
smb: \> exit

So, when we cancel a job in the samba queue (a job that was printed 
before), all jobs disappear out of the queue. The next jobs stays in it 
again.

I have a samba log of these commands. If you would like that, I send it 
to you. If you would like a screenshot of a windows queue, I could 
provide it either.
