[Samba] PROBLEM WITH PRINTERS.

[Ezequiel Larrarte]

Sorry people, I ve been replying only to Marc about this. I didnt add
the list in my replies ...

I m using SAMBA 3.6.9 from CentOS 6.4.

Marc pointed me to a bug:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10118

This bug makes that kind of error messages appear al logging level 0
and patch to increase them to level 3 has been released. I m still
getting this messages because CentOS hasnt updated samba yet and I m
not allowed to patch a software on my own in a production environment
here.

So, I want to know why these messages are generated and if I am safe
printing with them appearing over and over ...

Actually, I m testing this new print server with 5 client computers
and only one of them is under this condition.

I ll be appreciated if a programmer in the printer section could give
me some additional information about this.

Thanks!
