samba - Jan 2003 - (no subject)

Chris,
I did this very thing although I can't tell you how because it just worked
right without my having to do anything.  I am not having the server
automatically download the drivers so maybe that has something to do with
it.  I keep my drivers on s share and then have to go pick them when I
install a printer.  All of my print queues from cups update my windows boxes
about every 3 seconds.  Maybe someone else can tell you exactly how to make
it work but it does work.

Hi list,
I used to have a novell print server; at the moment we consider to
migrate to a samba (2.2.5-124) controlled printserver using cups
(1.1.15-69) on Suse 8.1.
Problem is:
Using Novell the print queue you see on the (win-) client is
automatically updated every few seconds.
Using Samba it is not updated; means you have to click on refresh to
get the actual queue.
Is this a client (redmont-wincrap) or a server (samba/cups) problem?
Does anybody have the same problem?
Is there a fix?
thanx in advance
chris

I missed the original post so maybe someone has described this already.
There are some known issues with Samba's print change notify 
implementation in Samba 2.2.  These have been corrected in the Samba 
3.0/HEAD cvs branches.

Mostly likely it is a Samba bug that is causing the client to ignore 
update event to the queue listing.
