Hello, I'm working on setting up a corporate print server with samba 3.2.0-2.17 on a Fedora 9 install. I've been able to get the services up and running and added several printers via the cups interface, also been able to upload the windows drivers. This all works well, printing also works well. The problem that I am running into is that the old print jobs seem to be getting stored

We're using the built-in CUPS interface for printing from Samba and this, as shipped, leaves the spool files in the directory defined by [printers] path = whatever in smb.conf. Other printing types typically explicitely delete these files as part of the print command but the CUPS interface doesn't offer any facility to do this. A possible solution is, as in the attached patch, to delete

This is probably more of a Cups issue, however, I have a question about the spool files from sharing Cups printers in Samba. The spool directory on my Samba server seems to be holding print job files from past print jobs. I'm wondering what is the proper way to eliminate these files? Any help is appreciated. Tim

i'm having this problem: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2220 But. i'm running samba 3.0.24 not 3.0.11 as in bug page. take a look: # smbd -b Build environment: Built by: brewbuilder@hs20-bc1-7.build.redhat.com Built on: Wed Feb 7 23:52:44 EST 2007 Built using: gcc Build host: Linux hs20-bc1-7.build.redhat.com 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:56:28 EST

Hello, I've got a centos 5 machine running the latest cups rpm v1.2.4. I've included my config minus comments below. My problem is via a web browser i can access the / resource without a problem, but when either clicking on any admin function or direct browsing to an admin address /admin i get a message error 426 upgrade required and i'm told i have to connect to an https address

Hi, madly looking for an answer to this but haven't found it in the smb.conf man pages yet... I'm using samba for my print server. I use printing = cups with samba. Currently it looks like all print jobs are being retained in /var/spool/samba and it has just filled my var fs :-( and no one can print. I can't seem to find any parameters associated with pruning the jobs, or how long

hi. I am trying to get print working and have a hard time indeed... My goal is to replace our nt4 print server with a linux/samba one as we have problems serving printers and drivers to win2000 workstations (and I don't want to set up a win2000 server for printing, and have the same problem _again_ when switching to XP ;-) The situation so far : - Debian woody - Samba 2.2.4-1 - Winbind

Is it at all possible to do a graphical netinstall ? I am using centos 5.2, and i have been doing net installs (pxe) for a while in console mode... -- Test <test at remedial-teacher.nl>

OK, I've tried changing my printcap name from printcap to cups. Printing works fine locally using CUPS on the Samba box. What am I missing here? Why can't I print to the Samba box via the Windows and linux clients? Shared directories work fine. I am really frustrated here and have exhausted Google and all other resources I have. Here's my smb.conf for what it's worth.

Hi, I have a wierd problem regarding printing. I use the CUPS-backend on a debian-box to share printers with samba. Sometimes for no apperently reason, a win-box (XP-home) just can't print after a reboot... and no matter how many reboots the win-box makes it just stops working, and dosen't work until samba is restartet.... and its not a samba crash, because other win-boxes prints

Hi, I use Samba and cups on my debian-box to share printers, but sometimes, for no apperently reason, windows machines (XP-pro and XP-home), sudently won't print after reboot and this is only solved by a samba restart. Other times the first print after win-reboot, just gets lost, and never apper in the cups-printing log. It's not domain controled, but everyone is mounting their
