Hi! I am attempting to help get a Samba server that was permitted to run
out of space on its hard drive back up and running. To make some room on
the / directory and to give the spool files some elbow room I copied
/tmp and /var to subdirectories that were on another partition (in this
case under /home), recursively deleted everything in /tmp and /var under
root, and then created symbolic links to /tmp and /var in the /
directory from the appropriate directories on /home. Most services have
stopped crashing, the system seems pretty stable at the moment, and
samba is serving files to the networked Windows workstations. I just
have one problem, the print jobs from the Windows workstations aren't
winding up in the appropriate samba print queues.

I have tested and I can print to the printers from the Linux box itself
via the print queues that the Windows boxes are supposed to have
attached to. Whenever I try to print on one of the Windows boxes I get
an unidentified system error and a stalled print job. I am guessing that
I accidentally changed the ownership or privileges of one of the files
(or perhaps many of the files) in the var or tmp directories and the
samba daimon isn't able to hand off to the print queues. Has anyone ever
been here, done that, and discovered what needs to be fixed?
