Have a look in your /var/spool/lpd/lp directory and check the permissions of a

- haven't installed 7.1 on my production machine yet) that changes the
permissions on this file so that only root can read it. The lpd daemon runs as
it's own user "lpd", so all SMB printing stops.
Like I said, I'm not sure if this problem has been carried over into 7.1, but
it's probably worth checking.
