Hi all,
I have a very good query related to printer sharing using samba. Following 
is the scenario...
I had installed HP laserjet 9040Dn printer on redhat Enterprise linux 5. 
Shared it using samba. Used winbind protocol to integrate linux with 
windows AD 2003. Now i am able to see printer in Active directory as well 
as linux computer account in AD. But unable to set option 
lpadmin -p printer -o job-quota-period=604800 -o job-page-limit=100
Going after lot of forums, i found that printer should support 
"job-page-limit" option. Whatever drivers installed for printer are 
current drivers & ie also from HP site only. HP doesant support linux OS. 
So no support from there. Following is the o/p of lpoptions -l command for 
the above printer.

In this i am not able to find "job-page-limit" option. Any idea as how do 
i set ? Any setting @ printer end or anything drivers update @ redhat end? 
Kindly suggest?
