Hi: I have a problem with my Samba print queue, I think. I started a print job back in June and the queue seemed to get overloaded. Since that time I can't print to that printer through the Samba queue. Even stranger, every couple of days random pages print out from that job! This has been going on all Summer. I would like to clear the queue and get Samba's printing queues up and running again. I've restart and rebooted the Samba/server to no avail. I am beginning to wonder if I need a Samba guru or an exorcist, anyone have a suggestion? If you have a suggestion feel free to write directly and/or to the list. Thanks in Advance, Jordan Glogau -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
What print subsystem do you use? If lprng, what does # lpq -Pprintqueue tell you, where printqueue is the name of the offending print queue? Anything in your samba print spool directory? It might be set as path = in the share for that print queue in smb.conf. Don't know enough to help you, but these might be good places to start. ~ Daniel jglogau@phr400.com wrote:> Hi: > > > > I have a problem with my Samba print queue, I think.

Try deleting the volatile tdbs such as printing.tdb and restart Samba. cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.
