Greetings:

I just upgraded a RH-9 server, running Samba 2.28 to RHEL-3 which installed samba-3.0.2-6.3E.

The "old" RH-9 box (print/file server) had 2 printers attached to it (1 parallel and 1 usb). All the printers and fileshares worked great.

So I upgraded and the fileshares via Samba work perfectly (as expected) and the RHEL box accepts and print jobs sent to them correctly however...

When I go to one of the client workstations (Windows 2K-sp3) and go the "printers" listing (start|settings|printers), the two printers hosted by the RHEL box have a status as "opening", and not "ready".

The RHEL box takes and sends print jobs fine from any client applications (such as Word or StarOffice), so nobody has complained but I'm just wondering what could be causing this given that the printers worked showed a "ready" status when hosted via samba-2.28.

Here is a section of the smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP.NET
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*al
l*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
printing = cups

        lpq command = lpq -P%p

        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes

Any hints would be appreciated.
