[Samba] Some questions about lpq command and the displayed jobs

[Stefan.Iven at voessing.de]

Hello list,

i use now Samba 3.0.2 as PDC with LDAP backend on suse sles8. With the
other versions
of Samba3 I hade the same problems with the lpq command.
I use CUPS printing system with raw options. The clientdrivers
are installed on serverside.

my smb.conf in the global part

        printing = cups
        print command = lpr -r -oraw -P%p %s
        lpq command = lpq -P'%p'
        lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
        queuepause command = disable %p
        queueresume command = /usr/bin/enable %p

my printer part

[print$]
        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
        admin users = root
        read only = No
        create mask = 0664
        strict locking = No

[printers]
        path = /tmp
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[IBVDM24HP5000N]
        path = /tmp
        read only = No
        printable = Yes
        printer name = IBVDM24HP5000N
        oplocks = No
        share modes = No

if I doubleclick the printer from a W2K(SP4) workstation,

i get :

That the printer is not ready is ok, because the printer is halted.
You can see that there are printjobs from user gritzmann wich are not
displayed
on the workstation. It doesen't matter if you are logged in root or as an
other normal
user. All useres are in the only group domain users. root is Domain admin.
User gritzmann can't see his own printjobs. He can see all other printjobs.
Why is there not for every jab a queue time, and why is; when there is, a
job queue time
which is for every job the same? I sure, they don't print all the testpages
at the same time.

What are I'm doing wrong? Can someone explain that to me please?

Thank you for your help!

MfG Stefan
