My Samba-shared printers (v2.0.3) printers worked great until I updated
several software packages last weekend.
These printers are networked and can still be used by running lpr from the
command line of my Linux (RedHat v5.2, kernel 2.2.5) server. Print jobs
sent from the client machines (OS/2 and Win98) are not printed.
A job sent from a client machine is apparently just lost. Nothing is
queued in the /var/spool/lpd/* subdirectories and lpq shows no jobs
pending. The shared printers show as shares on the Linux server via
smbstatus and show up on the client machines via "net view \\corona".
I've tried setting "debuglevel = 3" in /etc/smb.conf, but no
obvious errors
(obvious to me, anyway) show up in the log files. The is the out out from
a job sent from OS/2 to shared printer lj4m:

Can anyone suggest a course of action to determine why my shared printers
won't?
Thank you.
