I'm running Samba 2.0.3 from the pre-built binary
(ftp://sunsite.org.uk/packages/samba/Binary_Packages/solaris/samba-2.0.3
-sunos-4.1.3.tar.Z) on a Sun IPX with SunOS 4.1.3_U1.
I've defined a printer in smb.conf, from a PC (NT 4.0) I can send prints
to it and view the queue OK but I can't manage the queue in any way.
Attempts to cancel prints and stop or start the queue from the PC have
no effect - not even any messages in the logs.
The unix print queue is set up OK and reacts to local lpc, lpq, lpr and
lprm commands just fine.
This is what I have in smb.conf:
[blackhole]
comment = Dummy printer for testing
path = /var/spool/samba
print ok = Yes
print command = /usr/ucb/lprm -P%p %s
lpq command = /usr/ucb/lpq -P%p
lprm command = /usr/ucb/lprm -P%p %j
queuepause command = /usr/etc/lpc stop %p
queueresume command = /usr/etc/lpc start %p
printer name = blackhole
Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?

It seems that the package does not set the mode for /var/spool/samba as 1777, and so no one can delete print jobs but root. -- Jorge Gonzalez <jorgegv@icai.upco.es> -o) ICAI - Universidad Pontificia Comillas /\\ Administrador de Sistemas _\_v

The object of the exercise is to replace a variety of different dumb network print server boxes with some surplus low end PCs as Samba print servers running Linux. For this solution to gain favour with the NT administrators I'll have to offer them (at least) the same level of control as they already have.
