David, thanks for the response. I don't believe this is our problem...I'm not having Samba lock-up (or at least not yet); I'm simply seeing every print job that has past though the Samba/CUPS queue remain in the Windows printer queue.
Things _seem_ to be otherwise unaffected, this may change and I may indeed experience a lock-up in the end, but I haven't yet.
