We're running Cups and Samba on a SUSE Linux 8.2 server with Windows 98, NT and 2000 clients. We are experiencing intermittant problems whereby printers on the client PC's are setting themselves to offline when print jobs are sent to them. The problem is I'm finding it difficult to diagnose the cause of this as it isn't happening consistently in that we'll have 25 client pc's in a room set to print to the same network printer and only 4 or 5 of them will set the printer to offline while the other 20 will print fine. All our printers are HP 2100, 2200 and 4050's. I have checked the error log in CUPS and there are none that seem to pertain to the problem. In the Samba logs though there are a series of errors stating :-
ERROR: NULL dest in safe_strcpy I don't know if this is related to the problem but would appreciate any help with this problem Cheers Brett
