Hi there.. This my first post to this group. I came over with the folks from White Box. I''ve installed my first Centos and feel right at home. Congrats on all the great work you guys have done with this OS. Complements aside, I do have an issue which is why the post. I have a server that has been in place for almost a year now (WBEL3.0) that started about a month ago of not removing the printed jobs. I''ve looked everywhere and can''t find the problem. The spool folder has 777''s and all of the config files do not mention anything about retaining printed jobs. However, after a week of use, there''s over 300 print jobs in each printer''s Queue when you open the printer in Windows. The server is obviously a samba file & print sharing box. While I know that it''s WBEL3.0, Centos is the same basic OS so I thought I''d ask for help here since I''m now a Centos lover just as I was WBEL. Thanks for any suggestions and advise. Scott
This is a known issue with samba. We are awaiting a fix form RedHat with an updated smaba package. What Samba version are you running? Scott Heisler wrote:> Hi there..

This problem seems to come and go - it turned up on one of my systems about 5 months ago, disappeared again with a samba/cups (not sure which) yum update, came back again about a month ago when another cups update came through, and within the last couple of days it has gone again and I notice that there was also a cups update around the same time! I know it is down as a samba issue but it seems to come and go with cups tinkering!? Another of my systems (with a different type of printer) has never had the problem so I also wonder whether it''s Windows driver sensitive?
