similar to: Unable to cancel print-jobs in cups-samba combination

Hi All, I am working on a product(running on Linux with Kernel 2.4) in which print-server is one of the functionalities. For that I have integrated Samba and CUPS which will let me give print-commands from a Windows PC and the commands are communicated to the cups via Samba and finally the prints are done by the printer which is connected to the product. I have both CUPS(1.2.1) and Samba(3.0.22)

Centos users, I new to Centos 7 and my problem is the following: I am using my Centos 7 system as a print server in a warehouse. Using cups for the print queue's. Which I can print to the printers find from the Centos 7 machine. The hosting system is Sco Unix using lpd printing. This machine is in Illinois and the warehouse / Centos 7 machine is in Arizona. I have loaded

We have a print server running RHEL 4, w/ samba-3.0.33-0.15.el4 When viewed from windows, one queue on the system has the "remains" of 264 print jobs - some dating back to April, but I can't find where the information is coming from. Apparently the jobs print fine, but then the information sticks in the queue information. Running lpq on the Samba system shows: # lpq -a no

Hi All, I have managed to integrate SAMBA and CUPS on my hardware running on linux basically used as a print-server. I give print-commands from Windows PC and the printer is connected to the hardware. I am able to get the print-jobs done. Also, I am able to cancel all the jobs at a time by selecting "Cancel All" from the menu The problem is that I am unable to control the individual

hi! I need help abaout samba+cups: a printer admin can delete job (from a windows client) only if he has uid 0, else receive an "Access denied" message. Samba log contains: [2005/07/01 15:02:41, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_job_delete(339) Unable to cancel job 18 - client-error-not-authorized I think it's a permissions trouble on job in directory spool: -rw-r----- 1 root lpadmin

Hello all, I am running Samba 3.0.9 with CUPS 1.1.17. When my windows user try to pause print jobs it does not work and gives them an error "Error Processing Command" in Windows. If they try to cancel a print job it doesn't give any error. It just disappears from the print queue and print anyway. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks all Dominic Iadicicco

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

On occasion, we get a printer that becomes disabled, and jobs begin to queue up. When the issue is resolved, we re-enable the printer and usually all the jobs print out. However, sometimes the first job never prints, but the others do. The cups interface shows the job is stopped. IfI restart the job in the cups interface, it prints. Is there a way to determine, via the command line, if a

We have been using CUPS to handle printing and have run into some "features" some of which a fresh install of the responsible server will probably fix. However there are some disparities between the documentation and our practical experience for which a clear statement would help others. The docs state when using CUPS the relevent lines of SMB.CONF should look like this: printing=cups

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

Hi! on centos 4.4 (fresh install) I've got a problem with CUPS disabling a print queue between jobs. Sometimes it will print dozens of jobs before disabling the queue, sometimes it will do it after every job. This is a networked HP Laserjet printer at work. At home on a 4.4 box (upgraded from 4.3) with a local (parallel port) printer I've not seen this problem occur. (of course, I

I'm running Samba 3.2.0-17.fc9 as a PDC, serving a printer using CUPS. When I look at the state of the printer under Windows XP I see that jobs which have completed are still listed. When I look in the printing/<printer>.tdb, there are all the jobs. There is nothing left in /var/spool/samba. There are only the completed control files in /var/spool/cups. It appears either that Samba

I am trying to print from both a Win98 PC via Samba and a Red Hat 8.0 workstation to an HP 4 Plus printer that is connected to a Red Hat 8.0 server. I have managed to get the Win98 PC working OK, but am having difficulty with the RH8 workstation. I set the printer up using a browser with <Server>:631, calling it HP4Plus, and I can send a test print from the browser on the RH8 box via

Hello, I've compiled Samba 3.0.0 with CUPS support. I verified this: # ldd /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd *snip* libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x400dc000) *snip* My smb.conf was copied from the HOWTO and the relevant sections look like: [global] *snip* # print support load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups *snip* [printers] comment = All

I have searched around the samba documentation, including the smb.conf man page, and have found nothing regarding the cups printing system except change printcap to cups. Now, I have done that, but printing still does not work. I need some types of details and a sample smb.conf and/or any other relevant documentation. Thanks much, George D. Plymale

Hi, We use Samba and CUPS to print for Windows users. Users seem to be able to cancel their own jobs in the queue from the Windows queue interface (in Control Panel\Printers\Open queue, right click on job and select Cancel) but Domain Admins cannot cancel Domain Users documents in this way (the status bar says "Access denied."). Domain Admins have this ability with a Windows print

Using samba 3.4.9 and cups 1.4.3 I have "printing = cups", but for some reason samba is not picking up the cups printers or creating the printers share. The problem is obviously this, from the samba logs: [2011/03/28 14:09:43, 0] printing/print_cups.c:103(cups_connect) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Connection refused However, cupsd is most certainly listening

Listers, I encountered a problem with samba (2.2.7a) when I was setting CUPS (1.1.14) up. I set it up through the web interface, setting the appropriate values in smb.conf: [global] <snip> printing = cups load printers = yes printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes

have a strange isue. [ this is my 2nd day with centos4] nice instalatin BTW ok, i activated cupsd sharing and open the port 631 in the security level when i lpq from withing a network interface i get thi error ~$ lpq lpq: error - no default destination available. and in centos the log shows D [19/Mar/2006:08:37:17 -0500] AcceptClient: 8 from 192.168.1.100:631.

Hello- I am running Debian Woody, Samba 2.2.7, and Cups 1.1.14-3. I can print as any local Linux client, but there is a permissions issue when I try to print from Windows 2000. My spool directory is /var/spool/cups, the permissions are set 700 to user lp and group sys. If I chmod the directory to 777, printing works fine, but when I restart cupsd, the permissions revert back to 700. I am running
