Michael / Dave,
Since the two of you are having similar problems, I thought I would
respond to both at the same time. I cannot tell from your messages if
your Samba/CUPS setup is similar to mine or not.
I don't think the problems are quite the same (the printers that remain
on my system still have fully functional drivers). Although I guess
damage to the printers database could be responsible in both cases.
I started experiencing this problem on Debian lenny systems at either
3.0.26a or 3.0.27. It has continued to 3.0.28. In my case, it only
affected systems in which I had compiled CUPS from the sources at
cups.org. On the systems where both packages came from Debian, I have
experienced no problems. On the affected systems, no amount of
restarting samba and CUPS would fix the problem. To bring them back I
had to reboot the system; and in some cases, there was a lag time
after the reboot before the printers reappeared. I do not have an
explanation; maybe someone else can offer one.
My cups and the new samba package were all official slackware releases
(in most cases slackware packages are extremely close to the official
releases, customisations are kept to a minimum), my old samba .24
package was from source. I don't believe the custom package had any
printer related tweaks (is it possible to find the configure options
used to generate a binary?).
I haven't been able to reboot the system, I will give it a try on Friday
and see what happens.
Good luck Dave :)
Thanks
Dale
