It is possible to see the print queue and via NT4's printer window. Correct? And remove the jobs too, right? But not for me. cups-1.0.5, samba-2.07 on linux-2.2.14 queues show ok using lpq printing from nt works ok using samba. in smb.conf I have: printing = cups print command = lpr -P%p -s %s; rm %s lpq command = /usr/local/bin/lpq -P %p lprm command = /usr/local/bin/lprm -P %p %j The samba log for the nt client machine shows: [2000/05/11 15:17:58, 3] smbd/ipc.c:api_DosPrintQGetInfo(823) PrintQueue uLevel=3 name=csulw [2000/05/11 15:17:58, 3] printing/printing.c:get_printqueue(1035) Running the command `/usr/local/bin/lpq -P csulw' gave 0 [2000/05/11 15:17:58, 4] smbd/ipc.c:api_DosPrintQGetInfo(896) printqgetinfo: errorcode 0 [2000/05/11 15:17:58, 5] smbd/ipc.c:copy_trans_params_and_data(156) copy_trans_params_and_data: params[0..6] data[0..152] [2000/05/11 15:17:58, 5] lib/util.c:show_msg(430) I have disabled the printer so the job just stay's in the queue, but the queue appears empty from NT. I have tried a lpq command using a pipe thru tee so I can see what's going on and it appears correct Rank Pri Owner Job Files Total Size 1st 50 bevanb 1 unavail.ps 2048 bytes The NT (NT4 sp6) machine is running under vmware on the same machine as the cups/samba server.
