[Samba] Print Queue Management through windows Clients

[Fernando Ruza]

Write the following in the global section if you use
lpd:

printing = lprng

And all the lp* command parameters in smb.conf start
to work properly.
Look at the commands I have, they works perfect for
me:

## To print
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P %p %s && rm %s
## To query the queue
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P %p
## To remove jobs in the queue
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P %p %j
## To pause a print job
lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j
## To resume a print job paused
lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j


Also it's important that you check the file
/etc/lpd.perms. My file has the following:

## You can make sure that connections come from a
privileged port.
## Default is to allow them from any port so that
non-setuid programs
#  can do printing.
#  Totally RFC1179
#REJECT SERVICE=X NOT PORT=1-1023
#REJECT SERVICE=X NOT PORT=1-1023
#  Privileged
#REJECT SERVICE=X NOT PORT=721-731
#
# allow root on server to control jobs
ACCEPT SERVICE=C SERVER REMOTEUSER=root
# allow anybody to get server, status, and printcap
ACCEPT SERVICE=C LPC=lpd,status,printcap
# reject all others
##REJECT SERVICE=C
#
# allow same user on originating host to remove a job
ACCEPT SERVICE=M SAMEHOST SAMEUSER
# allow root on server to remove a job
ACCEPT SERVICE=M SERVER REMOTEUSER=root
REJECT SERVICE=M
# all other operations allowed
DEFAULT ACCEPT



I hope all of this help you. Cheers,

Fernando.
