Samba printing problem after upgrade slink->potato

[Alexander List <alexlist@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at>]

Hi,

I just upgraded our office fileserver to potato, running samba 2.0.7-2,
lprng 3.6.12-6 and an HP LaserJet 4050 TN connected to the LAN. Everything
worked fine until the upgrade from slink to potato.

The following (very) weird thing happens now:

- when I lpr a file from the Linux box directly (eg /etc/passwd), it
  prints correctly (-> LAN OK, Printer OK)
- when I rlpr the same file to our Win2k server (sorry, yes, we have one),
  it prints, too (-> LAN OK, Printer OK)
- when I connect to my printer share \\server\hplj4050tn using
  smbclient and tell it to "print /etc/passwd", it does as it should
  (-> Samba printing also OK)
- I can connect to the network shares of my Samba machine. I can even
  install the printer correctly. (Samba ok?)
- when I try to print from any of the WinXX machines in the office
  (no matter if NT 4 or 2000), it just doesn't print at all. It won't even
  appear in the Windows print spooler.

However, I get the following error message by mail:

Did anyone experience similar problems? I have no clue how to solve this
problem so far...

Thanks for any hints
