[Samba] smbclient queue command issue

[Eric Rowell]

Jeremy,
    WoW.  It worked just as expected;
            rpcclient -c "enumjobs printer" -U user printserver

   This worked great to get the list of the jobs on the print queue.
(too bad the "net" command doesn't support this)

   Now if I could just get the delete/cancel job command I would be
golden.  I didn't see a command equivalent on the list of options for
the rpcclient command.  Since the option from "net" and smbclient
don't work for the same reason.

   Thank you for all the help you have already given,

Eric B. Rowell
