samba - Aug 2003 - Odd tdb cups/samba Printing Problem

Hello,

I am running SuSE 8.1 (2.4.19) with an installation of Samba 2.2.5 with Cups
1.1.15 from the distro CD's.  I'm having a strange problem when printing
from a Windows 2000 laptop to the printer (HP882c using hpijs) connected to the
SuSE samba box via USB.  Printing starts and usually works for a little while,
but after a few minutes/pages printing stops, usually in the middle of printing
a page.  The following errors are seen repeatedly in the smb log:

Aug 21 09:21:11 langly smbd-classic[1896]: [2003/08/21 09:21:11, 0]
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(492)
Aug 21 09:21:11 langly smbd-classic[1896]:   tdb(/var/lib/samba/printing.tdb):
tdb_free: left free failed at 2336

I looked for this on google, didn't find much at all.

Here are the contents of smb.conf:

[global]
	netbios name = langly
	workgroup = TRUTWIN
	server string = Linux Samba %v

	veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	# MAKE SURE THIS EXISTS (chmod +t, 777, owned by lp.sys)
	path = /var/spool/samba  
	browseable = no
	public = yes
	guest ok = yes
	writable = no
	printable = yes
        printer admin = root trutwijd

[print$]
	comment = Printer Drivers
	path = /etc/samba/drivers
	browseable = yes
	guest ok = no
	read only = yes
	write list = root trutwijd

Printers were setup for Windows clients with "cupsaddsmb -a -v -U
trutwijd"

Anything else I can provide to help diagnose?

Thanks in advance,

Josh Trutwin

This doesn't seem to be a samba problem I guess.  I deleted all the tbd
files in /var/lib/samba and re-installed samba.  No more strange tbd errors, but
the printing problem continues, it'll print for a while, then stop in the
middle of a page.  I'm guessing it's either a USB problem on my Linux
box or a CUPS problem.

Grrrr...
