Thanks for the reply.. Here is the answer to your questions:
1.) Printers are network printers setup via TCP on their assigned port
2.) Printers were setup first as Unix Raw printers from X-Windows using
the print configuration tool
3.) Then printers were shared out via Samba.
4.) Jobs are printing fine until the queue reaches around 1000 jobs,
then it tells the user that there's no more disk space. There's plenty
of disk space but I think it's a quantity issue, not a space issue
On a side note, the problem appears to be more samba-related.
Yesterday, if you looked at the printers from a Windows workstation, one
printer had 1004 print jobs, another had 480, and the last had 120. The
ones with 480 and 120 still worked. Anyway, when I went into the CUPS
folder in /var/spool/cups, there were only 283 files in there. I
deleted these files, restarted CUPS. The Windows workstations still saw
the same number of jobs. I restarted Samba and ALL of the jobs went
away and printing resumed for the main printer (the one with 1004 jobs).
It takes the client 3-4 days to get to the 1000+ jobs point so it's
quite an issue.
Thanks for any help!
Scott

Ok, how are these printers rigged up? Are you using socket, lpd, ipp,
etc for sending print jobs to the printers? Also, are the clients
printing to them via samba? Does this happen when you try a job from
the command line? Are the jobs actually printing?
