[vox-tech] Samba Printer Issues

[Richard Crawford]

I'm having a truly annoying issue with my printer.  It used to be just 
fine, but now it's... well, not.

Here's the setup:

Windows XP laptop
Print server running RH 8.0
HP 710C printer connected via parallel port
Samba 2.something running on the RH server

Everything seems to look good; however, when printing a document, any 
document, it gets about halfway through, then hangs for several minutes 
before continuing.  This started up about six months ago but has never 
really presented that much of an issue.

Here's the output from lpq on the RH machine:

root at hagrid: ~
# lpq
Printer: Fluffy at localhost
  Queue: no printable jobs in queue
  Server: no server active
  Status: job 'nobody at localhost+902' saved at 08:52:14.84
  Rank   Owner/ID                  Class Job Files                 Size Time
done   nobody at localhost+902         A   902 smbprn.000449.nEpM8j 89114 
08:15:13


Samba seems to think that the print job is done.
