[Samba] Finished print jobs are piling up on windows clients
Printing from windows clients to Samba through cups works perfectly but old (finished) print jobs are piling up in the print queue for the printer on the client side. I never had this problem with the clients when the server was running RedHat 6.2 with Samba 2.2.8 and LPD. The server has been replaced with a server running a RedHat Enterprise Linux rebuild (TaoLinux). The Samba version is 3.0.9 I already checked my cups files and had delete print jobs enabled from the start, also when I log into cups I don't see any printjobs. I appears as if the jobs themselves aren't there anymore, if I restart a job nothing happens. I guess it's just some log lines (files) that are kept in /var/cache/samba/printing Any ideas why this is happening and how I can stop this? I don;t want all this old stuff.... Deleting the file for the corresponding printer seems to work but it's not an elegant solution. Googling around didn't get me anywhere but it must be a known problem, I noticed this on 2 servers already Thanks!!
