Can you determine what the user process is? smbstatus perhaps? This
error says that it wants to create a new log file. What does your
smb.conf say about max log size? I am not very savy with smb printing
but that message suggests that something wants to have write access
either to the /var/log/samab directory or the log.smbd file and
doesn't have it. There are a few tests you can do to see where the
error lies. I would chmod the log.smbd file and see it that gets you
round the error.
