Stripping out all the comments and spaces, your smb.conf file for easier
reading is listed below:
Now, I thought your problem was seeing jobs in the print queue?
You should try adding the explicit commands to control the queue as I
have in my smb.conf, that is:
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -Plp
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -Plp %j
lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold -Plp %j
lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release -Plp %j
To avoid getting the printer listed twice, remove the load printers =
yes parameter in globals.
However, I am not not sure what your problem really is. Printing is
complicated. Please tell me just what your problem is, and post your
/etc/printcap file, and tell me if you can print to this printer from
linux or windows.
More comments, maybe not relevent to your situation, follow.
Now, printool is used to set up your linux printer on your samba
server, yes? Depending on the type of printer you have (postscript
versus nonpostscript) you may or may not need a separate, raw filter to
pass your print jobs to on the samba server. You need to have a raw or
unfiltered print definition in your /etc/printcap or you need a smart
filter which will not try to filter a binary or data file. Either should
be easy to set up. If you need print filter knowledge, read my tutorial
on print filters at linux stepbystep. Search for filter. If you need help
setting up your /etc/printcap file, post your current /etc/printcap file.
You will have to install the drivers on your windows box for this printer.
Install them like you would for any network printer.
