Hi.
My samba test box (2.2.1a) has all it's print queues in the
/var/spool/lpd/distributed/[printer-name] directory. Each of these
directories has a couple of files: status; and lock. When viewing the print
queue from a client machine the lock file is not shown, but the status file
is. The status file contains a time stamp of the last print job.
On an older version of samba this file is not displayed. Does anyone know
how to prevent this file being displayed on the client machines?
Here is my smb.conf:
===============================
[global]
workgroup = dis_css
server string = Samba Test Server
hosts allow = 131.181.124.
printcap name = /etc/printcap

log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50

smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
; socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 131.181.124.63/24 131.181.124.47/24
local master = no
os level = 0

preferred master = no
wins support = no
wins server = 131.181.254.115
dns proxy = yes
use client driver = yes
include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb_printers_import.
; include = /usr/local/samba/lib/shares.smb.conf
[public]
