Greetings,
I've seen a simmilar problem with a pap-spooler(RIP) running
on an NT box. When 2 (or more) apple users tried to send to the
spooler at the same time, the NT box decided to do random things
including dropping jobs / mixing jobs together / crashing NT!!
We 'fixed' it by having all the apple users send to a linux
server and then having the Linux box spool the jobs to the NT
one at a time. With PAP this is easy with the ofwpap (?) link/hack.
Ofcouse we are spooling to the NT server using pap. I havent used
samba for printing but maybe this idea helps.
Good luck,
Robert O'Kane
