The problem is now fixed for me. After purging all Samba I did try an apt-get install samba4. This did not work and it claimed there was a lock somewhere. I checked and Samba was set to load during the startup phase each time I started the computer up. I unlocked and then set samba not to be loaded at start up and it installed samba4. The problems with samba seem to be more my messing with it trying to get my win box printer to work over a LAN than a real bug. For newbies like myself to Unix line commands I humbly suggest that unless you have hours of spare time leave it the experts and install only Ubuntu O/S with it's supplied apps and attributes, we have spoiled by GUI's !
