I've asked for some advice a couple of days ago on this list, but so far didn't find a gracious soul to enlighten me... From the man page and from the "smb: \>" prompt (by typing "help queue"), one would conclude it *should* work with smbclient //publicaud/FX900 -U username -c "queue" but it doesn't for me.... I'd regard that function currently as broken for Samba (2.2.4|2.2.6) trying to look into a Windows 2K/XP queue (these are the versions I was able to "test" this on...)> Steven L.
