samba - Aug 2004 - Suspected Document Buildup in Print Que

I have a network of windows XP computers that access a shared printer on a
redhat linux 8.0 computer.  Recently, the printer was not functioning due to
missing supplies.  Now that it is back online, I can print to it locally but not
over the samba network.  No settings have been changed, so I suspect that
documents which people tried to print while the printer was not working have
filled some que somewhere and are blocking printing.  However, the windows
machines say that their print ques are empty, and so does the linux machine.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
