LPRng 3.8.12 (upgraded first from 3.7.4-->3.8.10) OpenBSD 3.1 Samba 2.2.5-pre (upgraded; 2.2.2, 2.2.3a, 2.2.4)
Patrick, et al, I just installed LPRng 3.8.12, to see if it would fix a problem I've recently encountered. You mention a fix for stale jobs not being removed-that's sort of what I've been seeing. The last completed job is shown in the Win2k printer status window as "Paused". I tried setting "default done_jobs=0" (in 3.8.10 and .12), but the last job printed remains in the spool dir. If I "lprm -Php4plus -", the job is dequeued and removed. Setting "default done_jobs=0" or "1" and "default done_jobs_max_age=30" doesn't change anything-the last job printed stays in the queue dir (not removed after 30 seconds). Odd...lpq, lpc, lpstat all report no PRINTABLE jobs, yet Win2k shows the job as Paused; even though it's already been printed. Dequeueing (deleting) the job files clears the job from the Win2k status box. Canceling the job from the Win2k box also clears it. lpstat gives me: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- samba2# lpstat hp4plus Printer: hp4plus@samba2 'HP4Plus by Graphics PC' (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status: job 'vansickj@samba2+738' saved at 07:53:52.293 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time done vansickj@samba2+738 A 738 smbprn.000028.D18204 42322 07:53:34 no entries ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- I copied this at 8:06 - 12 1/2 minutes after I printed the job; it's still in the queue dir. "lprm -Php4plus 738" dequeued it and removed the files from the dir. What feeds job status to Win2k? Is it lprng-->samba-->Win2k? Sometimes this is fun, sometimes it's not...I'm sure you know what I mean!
