Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have several pdf printers set up and
when I print to them samba becomes unstable and several errors are
dumped to the log. These pdf printers were working when I was using
version 3.0.6. When I went to a newer version of samba the queue would
not clear on the windows side and no errors were logged. Yesterday I
upgraded to version 3.0.13-1 and the errors started and the queue still
will not clear.
I have a very similar problem with my pdf printers. I have the following in my [global] section.
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
cups options = "raw"
and my pdf printer share now has [pdf] comment=PostScript to PDF Converter printing=bsd public=no guest ok=no create mode=0600 path=/var/tmp printable=yes print command=. /etc/sysconfig/rc.sysadm; \ ulimit -c 0; \ ulimit -S -d $PDF_MEM_LIMIT; \ ps2pdf %s "%H/%J.pdf"; \ chmod 640 "%H/%J.pdf"; \ rm -f %s lppause command= lpresume command= lpq command=lpq -P'%p' lprm command=lprm -P'%p' %j queuepause command= queueresume command=
and it now shows the printer as online and the printjobs show up and get removed just as they should.
All it took to change the printer status displayed on the windows xp pro workstation from offline to online, was to add a "real" lpq command line, (lpq -P'%p'). Now all looks fine from the workstations viewpoint. BUT on the server I now have repeated entries of cups telling samba that it does not know the printer 'pdf'. Win one, loose one. ;-)
level 3 error msg lpq: Unknown destination "pdf"! [2005/03/27 22:20:00, 3] printing/print_generic.c:print_run_command(62) Running the command `lpq -P'pdf'' gave 1
I start to wonder what "dammage" it would do to set lpq to lpq command =/bin/true for my pdf printer? ;-)
