samba-client lprng kernel? problems

[Glen Snyder <gsnyder@rice.edu>]

I recently recompiled my kernel using kernel-source-2.4.22 in testing. I
included samba file system support in the kernel.

Previously, I had no problem printing on two printers on different
WIN200 machines on our network but now I can't. The print jobs just stay
in the /spool/lpd/printer directory.

The funny thing is that I have no problem seeing the workstations and
their printers if I login with XSMBrowser or TkSmb.

I tried using dpkg-reconfigure samba, and set it as daemons rather than
inetd....should this make a difference?

I've gone through all of the tests in the lprng-doc cookbook.
Here is an example of how files sit around in the spooler:

tracer:/usr/src# echo hi >/tmp/hi
tracer:/usr/src# lpr /tmp/hi
tracer:/usr/src# lpq
Printer: vista@tracer (printing disabled)
 Queue: 2 printable jobs
 Server: no server active
 Status: job 'glen@tracer+589' removed at 21:07:51.382

21:40:30
2      root@tracer+798              A   798 /tmp/hi 

Here is a verbose attempt at  printing:

tracer:/usr/src# lpr -V /tmp/hi

My printcap file was generated with lprngtool. Since it worked before, I
suspect that I am missing some module in the kernel.

Any ideas or approaches would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Glen
