Subject: [Samba] Printing using smbclient

I can see the windows client from my DG-UNIX server.

# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L publicaud
Added interface ip=192.168.168.25 bcast=192.168.168.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Server time is Mon Nov 11 16:10:22 2002

security=share

Server=[PUBLICAUD] User=[] Workgroup=[AUDITOR] Domain=[AUDITOR]

        Sharename      Type      Comment
        ---------      ----      -------
        FX900          Printer
        IPC$           IPC       Remote Inter Process Communication
        PRINTER$       Disk

# lp -d fx900 /.profle
UX:lp: ERROR: Destination "fx900" is unknown to the
        LP print service.

How do I print to it?
That's easy:

  smbclient //publicaud/FX900 -U username -c "print file-to-be-printed"

(See "man smbclient").

*My* problem is: How do I look into the Windows queue then? I've
asked for some advice a couple of days ago on this list, but so
far didn't find a gracious soul to enlighten me...

From the man page and from the "smb: \>" prompt (by typing "help
queue"), one would conclude it *should* work with

  smbclient //publicaud/FX900 -U username -c "queue"

but it doesn't for me.... I'd regard that function currently as broken
for Samba (2.2.4|2.2.6) trying to look into a  Windows 2K/XP queue
(these are the versions I was able to "test" this on...)
