I'm seeing random printers on our server getting locked up with staust
"waiting for subserver to exit" messages. The problem does not seem to be
localized to any particular printer, and some printers will be printing just
fine then suddenly experience the problem. It happens a couple of times a
day. Our print server supports 94 queues for remote printing; we only see
tens of jobs a day through it so it's not a busy server problem.
I've seen a number of references to this problem in the mailing list
archives but very few followup messages, none of which seems to be relevant
to my particular problem. Anyone have any ideas?
