samba - Sep 2011 - Samba Printing api_rpcTNP: \spoolss: SPOOLSS_OPENPRINTEREX failed

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.

More details:

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.

Same problem here, with the crystal report software too. I tried UTF-8 and UTF8,
it makes no difference.

Last week i backported weezys 3.5.11 samba package to lenny and I still 
go these random errors. I went back to lenny version 3.2.5 and since 
then printing works fine. Guess that sorts out network related issues. 
Will monitor printing for an few more days and then try an samba version 
which supports win7 clients.
