Hello,
My name is Shane Drinkwater. I am having some problems with samba and
printing. It seems that old print jobs will not leave the printer status
screen on my 2000/xp clients. It looks to me that the tdb for the offending
printer is not being purged when a print job completes.

As you can guess the mercylab printer is the one I am having problems with.
Other printers on the system seem not to be effected.
Any Ideas besides delete and recreate????
