Ok sending again, I'm hoping someone has ran into this an knows a solution or maybe give me some pointers on the below problem with cups.

I'm using suse 9.1 here on our production server with samba running. Its seems several times a month printing will stop to one or all of the printers I have attached via network to this server. To solve the problem I kill all cupsd, then go into the queue an delete all old an current print jobs in the queue, then restart cupsd. Then I go an send a test print job from server to one or two of the printer an everything works again til the next time it happens. It was only happening once a month but now it seems to happen more often. Just wondering if anyone has seen this problem an know a fix. Its not that hard to
go thrue the procedure I go thrue above for me but I'm im gone then my boss tends to forgit what to do . He has pretty much left it up to me with the linux server an know very little about it.

thanks in advance.
