Hai,
Lately I am encountering a weird issue with spool queue under winxp and
samba+cups.
It seems winxp puts all the information of printjobs spooled to a given
printer exported with samba in its local printer spool queue of that printer
(allso of other users in the domain) and never marks them as
done/expired . After a certain amount of time there are so many jobs in the
queue the workstation refuses to print to that printer. It is impossible to
remove the printjobs or otherwise manipulate the local spoolqueue.
The latest site where I maintain a samba file/print server exhibited this
issue after I upgraded from samba-3.0.4 to samba-3.0.10 with following
config :
smb.conf :
[global]
........
load printers = yes
# printing = bsd
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[print$]
comment = Printer Driver Download Area
path = /usr/local/shares/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
write list = @sys, root, @wheel
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /tmp
browseable = No
printable = Yes
guest ok = Yes
read only = Yes
print command = lpr -P%p %s
Any pointers are appreciated
TIA
Wim Bakker
