For some time I had been running samba 3.0.10 from RHEL4. I have a samba -> cups -> pdf printer set up which uses the user supplied job name for the output file. The job name was formatted like this "smbprn.00001020 Microsoft Word - Test.doc". Since then, RHEL have updated to samba 3.0.25. The job name supplied to cups is now a random string of characters like "smbprn.00001512.hFG4Qi". Does anyone know if there is there a way to get the old behavior back? Thanks John. -- John Newbigin ITS Senior Analyst / Programmer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin

No. The current behavior is by design and was specifically done to fix manage CUPS print jobs from Windows clients. jerry - -- ====================================================================Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Likewise Software --------- http://www.likewisesoftware.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH84Y8IR7qMdg1EfYRAoXGAJ95U9pl/5TLDrwQTJCI83NS5FO6AwCgrj1W MkrJrMNWUV35t+LSelwWWZg=QoB5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It was handy while it lasted.
