I'm having several printing problems. Server is RHEL 3, running samba-3.0.9-1.3E.2 and cups-1.1.17-13.3.22. Clients are Win2K and WinXP. First, we're seeing the "failure to remove print jobs from queue list display" problem that others have reported. The document count for each printer also doesn't match the number of jobs in the queue list. I understand that there's a patch available for Samba 3.0.10 to fix the former problem; will it fix the latter problem as well? Will the patch apply to Red Hat's samba-3.0.9 (it looks like it will), or do I need to upgrade to 3.0.10? Second, we're seeing lots of the following messages in our log files: [2005/01/27 13:31:34, 0] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:create_policy_hnd(111) create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe. I'm getting reports from users that they're intermittently unable to print. Windows reports, "Unable to create a print job"; this seems to correspond with the "too many handles" errors, but I haven't gotten details consistently enough to know for sure. Any suggestions? I appreciate any help that can be given. Josh Kelley

Are you using an XP client? There's a limit on the number of open printer handles that smbd will allow to prevent a client from eating up too much memory. it's set to 256 currently. I would look at a network sniff to see what the client is doing opening all those printer handles. cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCABAeIR7qMdg1EfYRArv2AJ9e9K5eo8LgYlcn9WH4XAnOx3LPswCdEPTw yq4EeiI7PYCa0rBwb5+3yqQ=l64G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
