samba - Nov 2002 - How to Refresh jobs in samba queues ??

Hi all,

I have working properly a print server with
samba-2.2.6 and using the printing system lprng. I
have just the following problem, when I open the
window queue to see the   jobs in it from Win2K and
WinNT workstation the queues are not refreshing, I
have to push F5 key continously to refresh the queue
jobs information. 

Is there a way in samba or windows (I don't know where
is the origin of the problem) so that it refreshs
automaticly every n seconds ??

Thanks in advance to any reply,

My smb.conf parameters regarding the priting system:

====================================================[global]

   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes
   show add printer wizard = yes
   printer admin = @admin
   printing = lprng

[printers]
   comment = Impresoras
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = yes
   printable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   create mode = 0700
   guest ok = yes
   print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P %p %s && rm %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

[print$]
   path = /usr/local/samba/printers
   guest ok = yes
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   read only = yes
   write list = @admin
====================================================

This is due to bugs in the job change notification implementation
in Samba 2.2.  It has already been fixed in SAMBA_3_0.

I applied the patch by hand, but no luck. I have to to push F5 key
continously to refresh the queue jobs information.

The complete patcht part now looks like that:

/**********************************************************************
******
 Send a message saying the queue changed.
***********************************************************************
*****/

static void send_queue_message(const char *printer_name, uint32 high,
uint32 low)
{
        char msg[sizeof(PRINTER_MESSAGE_INFO)];
        PRINTER_MESSAGE_INFO info;
        ZERO_STRUCT(info);

        info.low = low;
        info.high = high;
        info.flags = 0;
        fstrcpy(info.printer_name, printer_name);

        memcpy( msg, &info, sizeof(PRINTER_MESSAGE_INFO));

        message_send_all(conn_tdb_ctx(), MSG_PRINTER_NOTIFY, msg,
sizeof(PRINTER_MESSAGE_INFO), False, NULL);
}


tom

Same results here.  The problem persisted even with the patch.
