Hi list,
a beginning samba user's learning experience
in the audiences highly regarded interest is as follows :-) :
- Buchan's script from mandrake works pretty nicely and
set me on the right path.
- I even managed to put my own solution without the described trouble as
well:
the issue is (so below) not stating these lpq and lprm commands.
stating the print command with a ending '&' gives Client resources free
before ps2pdf finishes the PDF file...
print command = /var/space/samba/printpdf.sh %s &
thanks again
