The good news is that this print server isn't yet running 7.2. If the
change began with 7.2 then I am still fine. Do you happen to have any
information on what the permissions should be on the various directories
and files in /var under the old distributions? Especially those related
to Samba and printing? I am almost 100% positive that my problem relates
to ownership rights since I made the error of not forcing those to
remain the same when I did my copy.
