similar to: samba spool problem...

I'm using CUPS and Samba for my printing needs and was wondering if there was a way to remove the files in the samba spool directory automatically when a job completes? I just noticed that it is shrinking the remaining space on my /var partition. Thanks for any help

I've set up Samba and LPRng for HP printers with JetDirect cards. It works for one user at a time. But if the printer is off-line or busy, the samba client does not get an error message, but the job gets lost. :( I would like the print jobs to be spooled on Linux even when there is an active print job or when the printer is off-line. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with lpd. The

All, Hey hey, am new so if this is way basic, flame on. ;-) I have a Dell Poweredge 2300 running RedHat 6.0 and whatever versions of samba and such that are part of that distribution. Samb 'works' from the standpoint of file sharing and printing in a sense. The issue is that the printer is an HP Laserjet 4 connected via an external HP Jetdirect box running IP. The only connection to

With samba-2.2.5, cups-1.1.14, and printcap=cups, I find that I have to explicitly clean up old print data files in /var/spool/samba with a cron job. With a traditional LPR, we use -r to tell lpr to remove the file for us after the file is spooled. With cups, we send it over ipp, and I think we should then unlink the data file ourselves. Does this seem right? --- print_cups.c~ Thu May

I just thought that I would put this out there and see if anyone else sees this problem with Samba 1.9.18p4 (under Solaris 2.6). It appears that after some reboots of Solaris, Samba printing is partly dead. What I see in the logs are below, and what happens is that the file to be printed is spooled to /var/spool/samba, like always, but when the lpr command is issued it croaks. I've been

I waited three days to post this while googling, reading, testing. I can't figure this out, so am hoping someone here has had a similar problem and can recommend a solution.

Hi all, an iBook running Mac OS X 10.2 recently joined my little network, so i did configure it for using a Windows shared printer (HP Officejet G55), naturally through SMB protocol. I used CUPS for setting it up. Now, the problem: if i try to print from the iBook, the printer takes about 10 minutes for throwing out each page and the document seems to be continuously spooled up to windows.

Hai, Lately I am encountering a weird issue with spool queue under winxp and samba+cups. It seems winxp puts all the information of printjobs spooled to a given printer exported with samba in its local printer spool queue of that printer (allso of other users in the domain) and never marks them as done/expired . After a certain amount of time there are so many jobs in the queue the workstation

Hello, My samba is working but....... I can share files and printers. Although printing is only possible after I set the permission of the spool dir as follows: chmod -R -g=wrx /var/spool/samba After that printing from clients is possible when restarting lpd it say's: permissions of 'file name' are 0755 not 600 and it is changed accordingly Then printing from a client is not

I have samba version 2.2.5 with printing patches. printpro 4.2.2 = cups version 1.1.14 (I think) The files queued in /var/spool/samba don't ever get deleted!! They are deleted after they are printed by cups in the cups spool directory. Why is samba not deleting the files? Do I need to specify a pint command? Thanks This is my samba config: # Global parameters [global] workgroup =

I'm running Samba 2.27 on RH8 system. I've got samba as the print spooler for Windows XP clients and using winbind as the user validation against my Win2K DC. Permissions on the spool directory are root root with the sticky bit on. Clients can delete their own jobs from the que, but the spool directory is not being expunged of print jobs and the last job constantly displays in the client

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

I have been using Samba as a print server successfully for quite some time. I have one issue that I can't seem to solve. We use a crappy piece of accounting software that requires the printer be set up with spool settings as: Start printing after last page is spooled. If start printing immediately is set, the checks do not print correctly. On a Windows computer, if I go to

Hi, I have some trouble getting files printed on my Solaris 8 machine running Samba 2.0.5. The client is a winxp installed laptop, the printer is configured as a postscript printer (Minolta PagePro 12 PS), although it is a PCL printer (Minolta PagePro 6).
