I'm running Samba 2.27
rather 2.2.7....
on RH8 system.
You should be telling us which print subsystem you have installed. CUPS? LPRng? Which version?
I've got samba as the print spooler for Windows XP clients and using winbind as the user validation against my Win2K DC. Permissions on the spool directory are root root with the sticky bit on. Clients can delete their own jobs from the que, but the spool directory is not being expunged of print jobs and the last job constantly displays in the client que window. I have not been able to figure out how to resolve this as occasionally people freak out when they see older jobs in the print que and wonder if it is stuck. For whatever reason, the print process is unable to remove the print job from the spool directory after it is sent to the lpd process for printing.
You should also be telling us, which smb.conf settings related to printing your Samba daemon is using.
Try
"testparm -v | egrep '(print|lp|enumport|driv|spool|\[|path)'"
and hit "ENTER" twice....
It is well possible that you are using a customized "print command", and have forgotten to include a ";rm %s" at the end....
