Problems while running lpq but lpr works... (samba bug?)
Hi, I am using samba samba-1.9.18p10 quite happily on a FreeBSD-STABLE system. The printing works (the paper comes out of the printer) but when I examine the printer queue on the Windows machine, it is always empty (even if the printer is offline). By turning on the debugging I saw the follwing output in the logfile: Running the command `lpr -r -s -P kyo /var/spool/samba/mobifi.n23036' gave 0 Here, with the print command, everything works. But later we find Running the command `lpq -PIPC$' gave 256 which fails of course since there is no printer IPC$. I have print command = lpr -r -P %p %s and lpq command = lpq -P %p in my configfile but for some reason, the substitution of %p doesn't work in the second case... Even if I leave out the lpq command, the result is the same. Is there something I am doing wrong or is this a samba bug? Thanks for any answers in advance; I won't be able to respond for the next 2 or 3 weeks since I am on holiday starting tomorrow. -Andre
