samba - Nov 2005 - trouble printing from Win9x clients

Hi,
 
We are on an Windows based LAN using Samba file and print servers. Our print
server is CUPS. What is happening is that the workstations running Win98se
get locked up when trying to print to networked printers. Whenever this
happens, From my XP client, I can open up the networked printer and see like
600 - 1000 past  printjobs with pcguest as the user. I have to delete all of
these jobs from my XP client and then go back and to the 98se workstation
and the user can print fine. Has anyone heard of this before?
 
thanks
Patrick

Here is a long shot in the dark...

Are you printers configured to print to spooler first then print ?

What does your print command look like?

Thanks
Paul

yes we use a spool file.

Print command... since we customized the print system so much it is
complicated to get the print command and in most cases it will be no sense
command for people outside the company. The basic idea is that when printing
through samba we send raw data straight to the printer. Samba is used to
just redirect the data.
