Unable to print to samba printer

Two times I have had to figure out why my network printer suddenly stopped working only to find out its because.... my root filesystem is full....

The issue appears to be the inability for cups to write to /var/spool/cups folder (due to lack of space)

A quick "df -h" reveals the filesystem to be full, I freed up 3 to 4 gig by simply clearing the pacman cache and problem solved.

The solution came from reading this post on bbs.archlinux.
