A client is running SME 7.4, fully updated. They have a laserjet 1300 printer working off the parallel port, which has been fine until recently. Now they find on one client it takes ages to print, and even bringing up the print queue takes a while. All other 3 machines are fine. Also, the print queue does not clear on the server when a job has finished. I went in to it this morning from a Windows machine and there were 339 completed jobs listed.
I've checked /var/log/messages and cannot see anything obvious. Can someone give me a pointer as to what may be happening?
Thanks.

OK, done a bit more digging in the samba logs, and you see the following when the PC's first log on. First from a machine that is working properly:
[2009/04/13 12:26:56, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1033)
muirfield (192.168.100.105) connect to service technical initially as user jamieg (uid=5000, gid=5000) (pid 22227)

muirfield (192.168.100.105) connect to service jamieg initially as user jamieg (uid=5000, gid=5000) (pid 22227)
and now from the one that is acting up:
[2009/04/13 12:05:44, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1033)
troon (192.168.100.104) connect to service aig initially as user gailb (uid=5001, gid=5001) (pid 22174)

cli_start_connection: failed to connect to TROON<20> (192.168.100.104). Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
The timeout messages then repeat every minute or so. I'm now wondering if this is a hardware problem rather than SME. Any thoughts appreciated thanks.

I had this same problem happen...my solution was windows firewall was messed up. I checked print and file option as an exclusion and the problem went away.

Brilliant, that fixed it. Thanks very much.
