Network printing dissapears in RH 7.1....

[John Nelson <jnelson lexonia com>]

All,

Now this is strange.  I recently upgraded my RH system to 7.1 and now
Samba network printing has stopped.  I go through WinProxy on a Dell
Windows machine but that has always worked.  The Linux machine gets its IP
number from the WinProxy machine with DHCP.

I've verified that everything is fine with printtool and the printer type
(SMB Windows), and the printer works from the WinProxy machine, but
printouts never make it to the printer.  They are apparently removed from
the queue after 3 retries.

Any ideas on how to fix this or pin down the problem?  It appears to be
some kind of connectivity issue, but nothing has changed since the last it
worked (what is required to get to external printers?).
