I’m using Samba 3.0.24 on Ubuntu Feisty.  I’m managing my printers with
CUPS.  

 

Just yesterday, one printer stopped being able to print through Samba.  This
printer still prints fine directly from CUPS.  When I try to send any print
job to the print via Samba, I get this:

 

[2008/04/08 11:15:58, 0] printing/printing.c:allocate_print_jobid(2262)

  allocate_print_jobid: failed to allocate a print job for queue
truss_hp4050_2

[2008/04/08 11:15:58, 3] printing/printing.c:print_job_start(2431)

  print_job_start: returning fail. Error = No space left on device

 

At first glance, I would think the disk was full.  It’s actually not:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/sdf1             106G   41G   60G  41% /

varrun               1006M  844K 1005M   1% /var/run

devshm               1006M     0 1006M   0% /dev/shm

/dev/sda1             1.4T  293G 1014G  23% /data

/dev/md0              1.2T  770G  380G  67% /backup

/data/home            1.4T  293G 1014G  23% /home

 

Then I checked to make sure the permissions on the spool directory were OK:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -ld /data/samba/spool

drwxrwxrwt 3 root Domain Users 49152 2008-04-08 11:17 /data/samba/spool

 

I don’t use /var/spool/samba but here are its permissions anyway:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -ld /var/spool/samba

drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2007-05-22 13:53 /var/spool/samba

 

Thinking it might just be a temporary thing with Samba, I restarted it last
night after everyone left.  The problem still persists.  I have not
restarted the entire server yet.  There are no errors in dmesg or
/var/log/messages.

 

I checked this morning to see if there was a newer Samba version for Feisty,
but there isn’t.  I found a few instances of this type of problem on Google,
but no real answers.  Plus, they all seemed to be old.

 

Thanks for any help,

Misty
