[Samba] Samba Printing api_rpcTNP: \spoolss: SPOOLSS_OPENPRINTEREX failed

[Claus Rosenberger]

From the Windows side the samba connected printers show "printer not connected" if the problem appears, on all clients the same time. But Cups connected printers will be shown as Printer Ready. This situation is just a few minutes, now it was 45 minutes, but no more interesting things in the logfiles. Perhaps somebody knows whicn keywords to search for.

Thats really annoying because the printing with samba is not possible, just printing directly to cups is possible. The clients are working with UTF-8, the server is working with UTF-8, don't know why character conversion should be a problem here.

some conversion inside of samba will cancel the printjobs.
