similar to: spool directory

Hi all, I just realized that the samba print spool is no longer flushing its queue'd print jobs even after it's been printed. In other words, the spool will eventually get full during which no jobs can be spooled and printed anymore. I worked around the problem and inserted the -r option to lpr for the print command in smb.conf: /usr/local/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s That seems to have the

I'm using version 2.2.7a. In smb.conf there is: in [global] security = USER guest ok = No guest account = nobody There is not "guest ok" in [printers]. Now I find print jobs which are supplied as user "nobody" to the UNIX printing system, although the variable %U is set to the real user name. What is wrong here ? Claude

Here is my printer config: printing = lprng load printers = yes use client driver = yes printer admin = @edutec, root printcap name = /etc/printcap print command = lpr -U%U@%M -r -P%p -J'%J' %s lpq command = lpq -P%p lprm command = lprm -U%U@%M -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M hold %p %j lpresume command =/usr/sbin/lpc -U%U@%M release

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

Can anyone suggest a way to have a notification after a print job has completed. I currently have this as my print command: lpr -r -P%p %s; csh -c 'echo \"%J has started printing on %S\" | /usr/bin/smbclient -U %L -M %m -I %I' & It kind of does what I want, but notice that the message says that "Job has STARTED printing on Printer". This is because with this

hello, I'm having a problem with print files not being deleted out of /var/spool/samba directory after a print job completes. Right now I am running RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.5 with CUPS 1.1.14 as my printing system. I was under the impression that after the job completed Samba was suppose to remove the job from that spool directory. Right now it just grows and grows until I have to

Good Afternoon, We recently added encrypted smb passwords to our site. I just tried to add a printer to samba and it will not work. I tried to connect to \\sambahost\printer and it will not connect. All the older printers still work. I just wonder if there is an extra step I need to perform now when I add printers? Thanks for your time, Bill -- William M. Fennell Network Administrator

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

In the past few months we have seen a couple of our production servers crash that are running samba-3.0.14a-1. What seems to happen is the smbd pid's seem to grow and grow until an out of memory error occurs and the smbd process just hangs. A simple restart does not even clear out the pid's. I end up rebooting to just clear it all out and start fresh. It probably has happened at

Using dovecot 1.0.10. In the config: namespace public { separator = / hidden = no prefix = Flock/ location = maildir:/home/baratin/PublicMaildir:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/Flock:INDEX=/var/dovecot/index/%u/Flock } This should be a public mail folder owned by "baratin", "read only" for all other users. Every user has his/her own control and index area

I am having problems getting Samba configured so I can print. I am going from Windows XP to Samba. I don't get any error messages in Windows saying that there is a problem. It sends the document then that is it. It is like the document gets lost. I am able to print through Linux and WebMin. What should I look at next? I am using the latest version of Caldera OpenServer. I believe the version

I installed Samba 2.2.2 on my Linux box. The smb.conf file is as shown below. The permission on /var/spool/lpd/lp is set to 755; ie, it is writable only by the owner, which is lp. With the setup as is, when I try to print from the NT machine, the smb log on the Linux box indicates the following error: " print_job_start: insufficient permissions to open spool file /var/spool/lpd/lp".

Dear Samba Folks, I humbly submit this correction to you guys, a minor typo in the Printing.txt document: (see snippet) Example: print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p %s lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start (pause should be

I just configured a server to use the CUPS printing system and have all my printers shared out by Samba. I made all the necessary changes to the smb.conf file but don't want to restart samba in the middle of the day since it is a high traffic server and don't want to break connections. Is there a way to just have samba load all these printers without restarting the service????

I have the following in my /etc/samba/smb.conf, yet i still cannot print from a Windows desktop client. I can see the printer and it goes through the motions of setting up the printer, it just doesn't print. It gives an error message about the network name cannot be found. Yet if I browse thru network neighborhood I can see the printer. What I see thouh is a name for the printer called

I am attempting to get printing services for Windows 2000 clients working with Samba on a Red Hat 7.2 box. The problem is I can not cancel print jobs (either from a PC or the local smb client). File sharing, and printing other than this problem, work fine. Here is a listing of configuration and system info: 1) the samba packages installed, 2) output of "uname -a", 3) the

Hi, I successfully setup printing on my FreeBSD box using Samba with apsfilter and lprng. However, I have encountered two issues: 1) Cannot print multiple copies of documents from my windows box (e.g. notepad). Only the first copy is printed and the rest don't get printed. 2) My spool directory is getting filled up and I would like the job removed after the print job is finished I've
