Here's the info you requested;
____________________________________
dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' | grep samba
libsmbclient 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3 samba install ok installed
libwbclient0 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3 samba install ok installed
samba 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3  install ok installed

It seems to happen when the Server is rebooted or smbd is re-started and
the Win client has not re-connected and sends a print job,  that creates
the problem. The client re-connects when you do a file operation on
samba shares, then printing works successfully after that.

It is used as a Home Office Server with Print and File Services for
Windows (2 XP and 1 Vista)  Laptops, using exim4 and ined-ipop  as an
e-mail server for the domain infostrada-systems.com. Also using it to
browse the Net with Firefox, to convert DVD's to mpeg with FFMPEG, using
VLC Player to view movies and listen to music. Wine is installed to
occasionally run Quicken 98 Home and Business, all seems to work fine.
Yeah it's quite a workhorse. The hardware is AMD Athlon64 3300+
therefore seems to be running 64bit version of OS.

There are 2 printers installed an HP OfficeJet 6310 AIO and an old
Minolta QMS PagePro 1250W BW Laser, both are working fine and printing
Test pages from the Ubuntu Server and Win clients successfully.

There is an entry in fstab to load the memory card share on the
OfficeJet printer using smbfs, it's working fine.

The latest version of Ubuntu is my first install, never upgraded it.
I've been installing Updates automatically as recommended by the System.

One of the laptops it is a corporate laptop therefore locked down, when
at the office or VPN, I connect to the Ubuntu server using ssh, and
tunnelling port 139 for windows shares to the localhost:139

I was using WXPP prior but it was grinding to a halt and having to
reboot daily.

Therefore I decided to give Linux a shot, Ubuntu was recommend by
friends. Installed Ubuntu with wubi (Windows) tool, and now it is the
default OS on reboot. Am very happy with Ubuntu am planning to remove
Windows from that machine.

Thanks,
Amin
