Hullo All. The preamble.... Samba 2.2.7a compiled against CUPS, CUPs v 1.1.6 (version that came with Mandrake 9.0), using client side drivers (raw printing) on XP. Printing works, cancelling jobs via the web interface works after the spooling is done. What doesn't work. Pausing jobs (though that's not as important as the next trouble) and cancelling jobs from XP. If I cancel a job by hitting the cancel button on a windows print dialogue, the program freezes until I manually restart the XP print spooler service. If I cancel a job by hitting cancel in the print spooler window, the job does get cancelled (it disappears from the spooler window), but the same problem, the program freezes until I manually restart the spooler. Anybody seen this before. I didn't have this trouble when I was using lpd, just recently with cups. One other side issue, i always have to manually refresh the spooler screen (F5) to see current activity. Is there a setting that I'm missing that will do that for me. Thanks for any and all help.

The refreshing issue is a known isssue in Samba 2.2. The Print change notify code is a little iffy. Much better in the SAMBA_3_0 cvs branch. I should mention that the print change notify stuff requires that the NT+ client being running the Server service (renamed to File & Print Shareing for MS Networks). cheers, jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "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/ iD8DBQE+OCzhIR7qMdg1EfYRAqPlAJ9FOlYUx3qgd/O9sV2O15AT/w3zJgCeNDaJ qgQHWITLgMI4pwFlClb0XWE=8MgN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Pausing jobs (though that's not as > important as the next trouble) and cancelling jobs from XP.Note that you can't really have user control of print jobs unless the user is authenticating to the server, and you haven't given any detail on how you are setup. Easiest way to tell on a default installation is if you see a share on the server with the username you are logged into windows with. If you don't, you're either going to have to add unix accounts (if they don't exist) which match the windows user names (or use a username map) and set their smbpasswd (smbpasswd -a <user>) or provide more info on how your authentication is setup. This works fine here, using the samba-2.2.7a-3mdk RPMs available at http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba on mandrake 8.0-9.0.> If I cancel a > job by hitting the cancel button on a windows print dialogue, the program > freezes until I manually restart the XP print spooler service.
