samba - May 2010 - Problems printing with samba 3.5.2

Ok, I finally deployed samba 3.5.2 (upgrading from 3.0.11) on the real server
after testing for a while in virtualbox.
There's a strange problem with printing: sometimes an application gives an
error printing (of course the error message is meaningless, this is windows
after all) and/or the job gets lost in transit.
After that stopping and restarting the local print spool service solves the
problem for a while.
This happened on a couple of xp clients but I fear tomorrow I'll see more of
those :-( so I'll have the chance to capture more detailed logs.

I see these messages in /var/log/messages, don't know if they're related
to the problem at hand (I oubt it):

As expected, today every client fails the same way. I setup a samba 
domain client on another server to offload printing using the distro 
provided packages of samba (3.4.2) but it core dumps after I add a 
couple of printers.
Now I'm rebuilding 3.0.11 to put on this extra server :-/

Can you please open a bugreport at bugzilla.samba.org and provide as much
information as possible about this ? Please also attach a log level 10
logfile and if possible a network trace
(http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Capture_Packets).

Thanks,

Guenther
