Hi,


I've been running Cups + Samba3 on a SuSE 8.2 box for quite some time
now. The last few weeks I've been having big problems with the printing
part of the server. One of the problems I'm having now is that gs seems
to hang on select documents - both wordfiles, pdfs and others.

This isn't a satisfactory situation, and I need some tips on how to
debug and /or solve this problem. 

Here's the ps-output that shows the processes running during one
printjob.

Has anyone got an idea?
