Why Are Some Users' Jobs Always Held Pending?

[Brian White]

Version: 1.1.23-10sarge1

I have cups installed and can print to it via Linux just fine.  I also 
have installed via Samba (via "cupsaddsmb") and most WinXP users can 
print just fine, too.

However, a few (3 of about 20) users have the odd problem that every one 
of their print jobs gets put in the queue and held.  I have to manually 
go in to the web interface and click "release job" for every one of 
them.  The other 17 or so users have their jobs go straight through. 
All WinXP machines are on the same subnet on the same domain with 
identical (automated, unattended) installations.  The cups logs show 
that the jobs are being held but do not state any reason why.

What would cause the jobs of a few users to be held while others print 
immediately?

Can I increase the log verbosity to tell why jobs are held?
