samba - Feb 2007 - allocate_print_jobid: failed to allocate a print job for queue

I have a printer connected to a linuxbox running Samba and Cups. I have
followed the instructions in the Samba-HOWTO to export the printerdriver a
a machine running Windows XP. When I try to print to the printer Windows
says "Access denied", and in /var/log/samba/log.xp I get:

 [2007/02/21 18:24:20, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(693)
  xp (192.168.1.101) connect to service Canon_i965 initially as user jarle 
(uid=1000, gid=1000) (pid 18102)
[2007/02/21 18:24:20, 0] printing/printing.c:allocate_print_jobid(2241)
  allocate_print_jobid: failed to allocate a print job for queue Canon_i965

Corrupt tdb in $lockdir/printing/ ?  Try removing the
Canon_i965.tdb file.

This did the trick! Now everything seems to work like a charm. (I had to 
restart samba after deleting the .tdb file though..)

Maybe something should be done to improve the error checking? When logging in 
log-level 10 I was told that there was not enough free space... And it turns 
out that my problem did not have anything to do with storagespace....
