Does any one know how to get the print jobs on the samba server displayed on Windows 95's print queue? Thanks in advance. The following is a sample of my smb.conf: [global] printing = sysv printcap name = /opt/samba/lib/printcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody [printers] comment = All Printers path = /tmp browseable = no printable = yes public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 print command = /usr/bin/lp -c -d %p %s;rm %s lpq command = /usr/ucb/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %p-%j _____________________________________________ Katie Ng Email: katie@odetics.com Database Administrator/Software Specialist Odetics Inc., 1515 S.

I think that the default for sysv printing is 'lpstat -o%p', but Solaris didn't like that.

For sysv print spooler you should change:
lpq command = /usr/ucb/lpq -P%p
to
lpq command=/bin/lpstat %p
