Print server problems on Enterprise 3

[Brian D. McGrew]

I had a similar problem in a network with several linux and several 
windows servers where the printer would repeat the jobs over and over 
again.  I was using a linksys print server.  I finally ended up having 
to setup CUPS up to talk to the print server in http and the problem 
went away.  Was very bizarre.
