[Samba] Unable to cancel print-jobs with Samba+CUPS via WinXP

[d.arun321]

Thanks Jerry -- for your assistance.


The solution was precise but i am facing an auhentication issue.


When I use the "use security = user" in the smb.conf then its promting for a username and password.


Is there any way for skipping this check.

Better not to set this if you want to manage print queues
from windows clients.
