Printing Problems

[Torsten.Werner at assyst-intl.com]

Dear all,
I've 2 different problems in printing. My configuration:
Samba 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 runs at HPUX 10.20, all clients are Windows NT
Workstation, Service Pack 5 in German language. At the UNIX side are 2 different
spoolers installed: the default HPUX printing system (similar System V) and a
special spooler to control plotters.

The first problem is:
In Windows is a point to pause a printer (open the printer, menu Printer,pause
printing). This point works, I'm able to disable a printer. Normally is a
windows based printer marked as pausing after them and it is possible to restart
it with the same menu point. A samba based printer will never marked as pausing
and it is not possible to continue printing after stopping. To continue printing
it is necessary to enable the printer at the UNIX command line.
What is wrong?


The second problem:
I'm able to print over the second special printer spooler. but I can't see
entries in the printer queue. I've written a small script to ask for the current
spooler status with exactly the same output and result code like lpstat -o%p. I
can see in log files that the script is called correctly.  At UNIX the jobs are
queued and printed correctly. I'm sure, I do a mistake. I'm not so experienced
in samba. What is false?

Thank you for help.
