cups-lpd and cupsaddsmb problems

Hello,

We're running cups 1.2.1 from backports on debian sarge. This solves
most of the problems we had with cups 1.1 but there are 2 problems which
came to my attention today.
One is with cups-lpd.
We have some solaris 8 machines (who run cups 1.1 for now) and since we
upgraded to 1.2.1 these machines give the following error for the print
queues:
cups-lpd: relocation error: cups-lpd: undefined symbol: cups_strlcpy

Can this have anything to do with the fact that the server (on debian)
is running cups 1.2 and the solaris machines run 1.1?
We first upgraded our printserver to 1.2 while the clients remained on
1.1 and we hadn't had any problems then.


The second problem is with cupsaddsmb and with samba. This problem is a
two parter.
Firstly, I can't seem to add printers (and their drivers) to samba
anymore. When executing cupsaddsmb without the verbose option he returns
this error:
cupsaddsmb: relocation error: cupsaddsmb: undefined symbol: cups_strlcat
Secondly, when I added a printer on a colleague of mine's winxp laptop I
saw that there were about 15 jobs in the queue for that printer, most of
the jobs about a week old. The weird thing is that none of those jobs
showed up on the webinterface of the cups server.
I don't know if these 2 problems have something to do with each other.


Can somebody help me with these problems?

thanks in advance,

Michael De Vlaminck
