Strange lpd Problem...

[Jiann-Ming Su <js1 microwave ph msstate edu>]

I'm running RedHat 5.0 with network printing.  The computer is used as a
samba server.  The strange thing is, after a few days of idle time -- that
is no print jobs -- the print daemon dies.  
Someone will try to print, but it fails to work.  When I check with lpq;
it tells me that there is no daemon present.  I end up restarting lpd, and
the print jobs goes through.
Any clues as to what's causing the problem?  Is it a lpd problem or a
samba problem?  Thanks for any help.
