[Samba] Cannot delete shared Printer from XP Home
I have a printer, using CUPS, run from linux (redhat 9) using Samba 3.0.22 to share it between some windows PCs. I wanted to remove the printer from one of the XP Home PCs, but the deletion process is apparently getting stuck. The printer status remains "deleting", but the printer never gets deleted. By chance is there some communication between XP and Samba that is hanging? I'm not seeing any error messages in the log files. Is there something that I may do in XP to force a removal of the printer? Here is my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = samba server interfaces = 192.168.0.254/24, 192.168.1.254/24 security = SHARE null passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 smb ports = 139 name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes remote announce = 192.168.0.255 192.168.1.255 passdb expand explicit = No hosts allow = 192.168.0., 192.168.1., 127.
