Printing woes

Hi,
I've been using Samba for a while, and I'm now running all network
printing here from Samba. However, while printing itself works fine, my
users can neither view the print queue, nor delete jobs from it, and
this is beginning to get annoying. I'm using LPRng to do all the
printing. All the clients are NT4 workstations. Here's some selected
bits of /etc/smb.conf and /etc/printcap:-
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MY_DOMAIN
server string = Samba Server
security = DOMAIN
encrypt passwords = Yes
password server = my_pdc
username map = /etc/smb.map
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No
hosts allow = 123.45.67. 127.
printing = lprng
[LJ4-RM24]
comment = LaserJet 4 in Room 24
path = /var/spool/smb_print
min print space = 10000
print ok = Yes
print command = lpr -r -b -P%p %s
printer driver = HP LaserJet 4
and the printcap entry for that printer:-
LJ4-RM24:\
:cm=LaserJet 4 in Room 24:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lp=123.45.67.89%9101:\
:sh:sf:\
:lf=log:af=acct:\
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp -Tmodel=hp4,status@:\
:mx=0
Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated...
Mike.
