Note that you can't really have user control of print jobs unless the user is authenticating to the server, and you haven't given any detail on how you are setup. Easiest way to tell on a default installation is if you see a share on the server with the username you are logged into windows with. If you don't, you're either going to have to add unix accounts (if they don't exist) which match the windows user names (or use a username map) and set their smbpasswd (smbpasswd -a <user>) or provide more info on how your authentication is setup. This works fine here, using the samba-2.2.7a-3mdk RPMs available at http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba on mandrake 8.0-9.0. > If I cancel a > job by hitting the cancel button on a windows print dialogue, the program > freezes until I manually restart the XP print spooler service.
