[Samba] MAX PRINT JOBS bugg

[rick talbot]

I was able to bypass the max print jobs = 50 parameter by putting the 
lines 2057 to 2061 in comments of the source/printing.c file. In this 
manner there's no comparison made on the number of job in the print queue 
and this parameter.

However by now the server stops queueing jobs after the 500th. It does 
accept them without an error but does not print them.

[Samba] MAX PRINT JOBS  bugg






My smb.conf file contains in the general section. 

max print jobs = 50 

And i disabled the print queue using this command : 

disable PrintQueueName

Therefore i would expect SAMBA to reject print jobs after the 50th. 
But in real life it does not, it continues to spool indefinitely.


If i run a batch file from a client workstation to print continuously. It 
means the request to print is made much faster than manually. It will stop 

when 7 jobs are spooled in the print queue ??!?!?!?

Running smbd -i -F -S - - debuglevel=3 returns the following error message 

on the linux console when 7 jobs are spooled in the print queue: 

print_job_start: Queue p13113 number of jobs (51) larger than max 
printjobs per queue (50) 
error string = no space left on device 
error packet at smbd/reply.c(3041) cmd=192 (SMBsplopen) 
NT_STATUS_DISK_FULL 

but there's only 7 jobs in the queue.

Release 3.0.7 does not fix this 


It seems to be an issue in the way Samba calculate the number of jobs that 

are in the print queue ? 

The reason why i am testing this is because one of my customer prints A 
LOT ( over 2 thousands jobs per day ) and his users gets exactly this 
problem when lots of people are trying to print at the same time. Default 
value of max print jobs is 1000 setting this to 0 ( to permit number less 
of print jobs ) does not fix the issue.

HELP !
