Greetings once again,
I am still having trouble with the "print command" option in 3.0.30.
In our computer lab, we force CUPS to print the jobs on hold, using:
print command = lp -H hold -d %p %s
This worked well with the Slackware packages of Samba 3.0.28 and CUPS
1.1.23. When I upgraded Samba to 3.0.30, the jobs were no longer queued
on hold, but printed immediately.
To troubleshoot the problem, I wrote a script that copies the command
line to a file, then replaced "lp" with this script.
With 3.0.28 the script writes its output to the file and the job never
prints. With 3.0.30 there is no output from the script and CUPS prints
the job.
In an effort be a good citizen, I removed the Slackware distribution of
Samba, then compiled it from source, using:
./configure --enable-cups --enable-static=no --enable-shared=yes
--with-fhs --with-acl-support=yes --with-automount --prefix=/usr
--localstatedir=/var --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin
--with-lockdir=/var/cache/samba --sysconfdir=/etc
--with-configdir=/etc/samba --with-privatedir=/etc/samba/private
--with-swatdir=/usr/share/swat --with-smbmount --with-quotas
--with-syslog --with-utmp --with-libsmbclient --with-winbind
Still no joy. CUPS immediately prints jobs and the specified "print
command" seems to be ignored.
I would greatly appreciate any help that folks may wish to offer.
======================================================================
Here are the details, in case they are important:
Slackware 11.0 using Linux kernel 2.4.34.5.
CUPS is the Slackware package of 1.1.23.
/etc/samba/smb.conf looks like:
[global]
workgroup = ITC
server string = Samba Server
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
unix password sync = Yes
ldap ssl = no
hosts allow = 172.20., 127.0.0.1
ea support = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[test]
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
printable = Yes
print command = lp -H hold -d %p %s
printer name = test
oplocks = No
share modes = No
