Hi, after updating our printserver from Samba V2.0.6 to V2.2.7 I encountered the following problem. Samba does not execute the (root) pre- and postexec within the printers section. If you are using these command in another section everything works fine. Does anybody know if these command are not supported in the printers section anymore? smb.conf: [global] ... load printers = yes lpq cache time = 30 print command = lpr -r -P%p %s printcap name = /etc/printcap printing = bsd ... [printers] comment = Alle Drucker browseable = no printable = yes public = yes path = /var/spool/samba/%d create mode = 0700 lpq command = lpq -P%p root preexec = mkdir -p /var/spool/samba/%d; chmod 700 /var/spool/samba/%d; chown %u: /var/spool/samba/%d root postexec = rm -rf /var/spool/samba/%d BTW how can I check execution of preexec-commands? I didn't find entry in %m.log ... :-( Regards,> Tobias Gerndt >

I have the same experience. I am using Version 2.2.1a.
When I turned a share from a file share to a printing share, the
preexec stopped.
[Z32]
printable = yes <---added
printing = lprng <--added
comment = Printer Z32
path = /tmp
exec = echo %U has logged onto Z32 | mutt -s "Log report"

If the latter, it is because the printing is done via RPC (never actually connects to \\server\Z32). cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc ISBN 0-672-32269-2 "SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed "You can never go home again, Oatman, but I guess you can shop there." --John Cusack - "Grosse Point Blank" (1997) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQE9+h37IR7qMdg1EfYRAlFXAJ4htPtgkE0ZKSHExBqG8DCsV+HdqgCeKKI3 khIglUv/j1sqloBdLw0Bj6E=RZza -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
