[Samba] Cups print jobnames became SMB jobname not doc name

[SMITH, Gregory C.]

Hi Jerry,

Is this something that changed in a recent version of CUPS?

The server that works (Fedora Vore 1) has:
	cups-1.1.19-13
	samba-3.0.7-2.FC1

The server that doesn't (Fedora Core 3) has:
	cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.8.5
	samba-3.0.11-1

Greg

This is currently by design and I've not come up with a better solution yet.
The problem is the API used to map SMB job id's to unix job id's.  The API
was originally designed around lpd/BSD printing and so CUPS is dound by that
current limitation.

If anyone has a clean way to solve this, I'm open to ideas.
But changing the API is not a practical option at this point.




cheers, jerry
