[Samba] lprm command not getting called.

[David Neilson]

Joel:

In response to your questions:

1) I am using lprng, not cups.

2. Here is the strings output of smtp:

3. The commands which are called from the smb.conf file include:  lpr
command, lpq command, and queuepause and queueresume commands.  The commands
which are NOT called from the smb.conf file include:  lprm command, lppause
command, and lpresume command.  I tested this as you suggested (setting the
command to something like:  echo "processed %s" > /tmp/file.out.  The
/tmp/file.out file was never created.  

4.  The /tmp permissions are 1777:  drwxrwxrwt.  

As I mentioned in an earlier email, I can now delete the files, but it hangs
the application.  Also, when I try to pause a specific print job, it doesn't
work.

Well, I can detect a note of desperation creeping in. Now, this is where the
real learning begins.

Some ideas:

You are using lprng, not cups, right?

Just for fun, try:

strings `which smbd` | grep command | less

and see what commands smbd recognizes.

You might try other commands, like lppause and queuepause and see if they
are being ignored.

Since this may be all permissions, try this:
lprm command = echo "you tried to remove me" %s > /tmp/junk

We assume permission on /tmp are proper? Mine are:

drwxrwxrwt
