[Samba] Printer settings disappearing on win98 clients Samba v 2.0.7 , solaris 7
Not certain that this is related directly to samba however any pointers appreciated. I have noticed an effect whereby all of the printers configured for a win98/95 client simply disappear. We have a solaris 7 box running samba 2.0.7 and this hosts several printers. Upon rebooting the client the printers are listed again. Is there some interaction in smb which causes printers to no longer be listed by the clients (as opposed to listing them as offline)?

This is caused by the Windows Printer Spool program crashing. In Windows NT, you can stop and start the spools service to get working again. I have yet no soluting for Win95, 98, ME besides rebooting the PC. In my office, the current biggest culprit for this is Norton Anti-Virus. I have to instruct roughtly 30% of users to disable Auto-Protect when they are about to print, else there is a roughtly 25% chance the print job will fail and crash the spool service. (Note: 90% of statistics are made up, including all the ones in this message.)

Andy, The times I have seen what you are describing turned out to be a resource problem on the client. Usually a memory leak or something else bogging down the client. This of course doesn't mean it is or isn't related to Samba as I have seen 95/98 (95 in particular)machines that were unable to connect to a share use up all of their resources doing so. Just trying to give you a starting place.
