Bug Description
Printing to remote printers using cups + samba no longer works for me. This problem arose after updating my dapper installation sometime near April 12th.
The setup: a home network consisting of one ubuntu box and one Windows XP box. The Windows XP box has two printers attached, both shared to the network with Windows printer sharing. The ubuntu box has these remote printers configured using CUPS and samba. This setup worked in early April.
Today (April 13) it does not work. When trying to print from ubuntu, the GUI reports that the remote printer is "paused". The cups error log contains stuff like this (username replaced by xxxx):
I [13/Apr/
I [13/Apr/
I [13/Apr/
I [13/Apr/
I [13/Apr/
I [13/Apr/
I [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/
I [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/
Later in the log file:
I [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/
E [13/Apr/

etc.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'cups'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
