I use , cups and samba on a mandriva2006 linux box. (Cups is compiled
with samba.
"ldd /usr/sbin/smbd" give "libcups.so.2 =>
/usr/lib/libcups.so.2
(0xb7e55000)"
and i'd like to see the print queue of cups from the windows client.(Xp
for example) but i see nothing into the windows queueing.
Iv'e tried many things:
- using lpq command, etc..., to force a lpq command, and changing or
not printing = cups to validate the new lpq command
- if i use the smbclient command (linux command) to connect to
printer defined onto the server
smbclient -U user \\\\server\\printer and use the queue
command i see the the queue and files on it.
My printers are defined as raw, and the drivers are installed on each
windows client.
Printing is ok from windows client, the only problem is :
- see the queue of the printers
- disable printers
- enable printers
from the windows client.
So does anyone has a correct configuration wich permit these functions ?
thanks a lot
