I read LPRng howto's chapter on Samba:
http://www.astart.com/LPRng/smb.htm
There it states two possible [printer] setup possiblities. I was trying to
implement guest user printing and chose the setup from the bottom of the page:
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -U%U@%M -P%p -r %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -U%U@%M -P%p
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -U%U@%M -P%p %j
lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M hold %p %j
lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M release %p %j
queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M -P%p stop
queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M -P%p start
It does not work and causes the print job to be spooled but not printed or
deleted.
I changed to:
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j
lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j
queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop
queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start
and the print job gets spooled from the Windows box, printed and deleted. I
guess the problem is solved but I don't understand what the problem was. If
anybody likes to comment on this go ahead.
