Re: [Samba] Odd LPQ behavior in 3.0.x

[Ryan Novosielski]

I changed the 'lpq cache time' parameter to 5 (from the default) and the 
problem seems to have gone away. The status (Paused/Printing, or nothing 
for jobs that are queued) has returned. However, now the Pages are all N/A 
(as it was before I upgraded), and the size field is back (but static). 
The port field is blank...

Before changing this parameter, as I noted below, Status was missing, but 
pages was listed (and dynamic) as was size (same). Now I only get this on 
incoming jobs (jobs with a "Spooling" status). I'm curious if there is any 
good documentation on how to expect this to work... the printing stuff 
doesn't cover this particular part of it too much.

I will apply the patch and let you know -- Samba has been segfaulting 
somewhat too on 3.0.9, so I'm hoping this will cure that as well.

You should see page count changes and size changes.

This one should be mostly fixed by 3.0.9 + the printing-3-0-9.patch
found in http://samba.org/~jerry/patches/post-3.0.9/


cheers, jerry
