The spoolss print job file open code-path has changed recently, looking at print_spool_open() it looks like the job file is created without taking the print jobid into account.

[Samba] printing issue after update to 3.6.1
Hello, we've updated to 3.6.1 yesterday, and since encounter problems with printing for some users. There's a descriptive error in the log.smbd, but I can't see what to do about it really (the rest of the, admittedly fairly ancient system, is the same base system as the previous 3.5.5 - only a couple of security updates were patched in during downtime). The message in log.smbd is: adminpc-rmarx (158.64.1.188) connect to service SuperJam PCL6 initially as user Administrator (uid=1003, gid=100) (pid 15885) [2012/01/25 13:14:01.334500, 2] rpc_client/cli_winreg_spoolss.c:898(winreg_create_printer) winreg_create_printer: Skipping, SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\SuperJam PCL6 already exists [2012/01/25 13:14:01.575723, 0] printing/print_cups.c:940(cups_job_submit) cups_job_submit: failed to parse jobid from name /usr/local/samba/var/spool/samba/smbprn..CXRIP3 [2012/01/25 13:14:11.775067, 1] smbd/service.c:1291(close_cnum) adminpc-rmarx (158.64.1.188) closed connection to service SuperJam PCL6 And indeed, looking into the spool directory, the file names which used to encode the jobid now don't any more.

Strangely enough, the file size is also zero. I'm sort of lost what would cause this. The thing I could imagine is our fairly ancient cups on the system (1.2.7) and that maybe 3.6.1 doesn't support some legacy CUPS API stuff that 3.5.5 still did. That's the only straw I'm holding onto. Can anyone help out here?

[Samba] Printing issue in Samba
Hello! I am a relatively new user to Samba and have run in to a snag with printing. I have Samba set up on a SuSE 9.0 server. I had no problems setting up shares for disk access to my Win2K boxes. I can attach to the shares very easily. I can also see that the shares are active from SWAT. The problem I have is with printing. I can get to the printer over the lan and even see the que update when I print directly from the server, so I know I have the que set up correctly. The problem is, when I try to print from the Windows boxes, the packets get to the server, but no pages are printed. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

[Samba] Printing issue: lpq command
Dear Samba Printing gurus, I've got Samba 2.2.8 feeding a commercial unix print spooler where users get differing views of print queues according to their "user class". Basically "operator" types see everything while lowly "users" can only see their own jobs. It doesn't appear to be possible to get this effect reliably via Samba because when an operator clicks View-->Refresh his display (of 10 jobs, say) appears not only in his own printer window but also in the monitoring window of an ordinary user who only has one job in the queue. Equally, if the ordinary user refreshes his view, he sees just his one job again but now so does the operator. While trying to improve this behaviour I set "lpq cache time" to zero, thinking this would help. (It didn't.) But I made another discovery. With the cacheing disabled each "Refresh" from the Windows end (NT workstation) causes THREE calls to the "lpq command" script ! Finally I tried using a separate lpq command script for each user by adding %U to the script name in smb.conf and set cache time to 2 seconds to work round the three calls thing. This gives better performance but still the serious "crosstalk" problem remains. Anyone got any insights to offer me on any of the above?

[Samba] Samba Printing Issue - Windows cannot see the print queue
I have samba working fine. It even prints ok. The problem is that Windows cannot see the print jobs in the spooler on the Linux box. I can see them for a while but then I can see them in the spooler on the Linux box and not in the Windows queue. I am using RedHat 7.1 with Samba 2.2.6. I am also using the default lpd spooler and settings are in /etc/printcap printing=bsd is set in my smb.conf file. Please help! Thanks. = Fernando Ruza Rodríguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Yahoo!

Are you using the Windows native drivers? If so, update them to more current drivers from HP. I'm using either NT/Win2k v4.3.2.38 or Win2k/XP v02.12.02 of the PCL 5E drivers. The MS-Supplied HP LJ4 drivers (and Lexmark Optra S and more...) have a host of problems. Including missing characters, graphics, etc. 2. Run testparm on your Samba box to see/fix problems in your setup. Directory rights on the lprng or samba spool dirs may cause the "Access Denied" errors. Look at the LPRng How-To for the correct syntax for the smb.conf entries. Run checkpc -V -f to see/fix problems in the lprng setup. 3. If you're using the print$ share to distribute your drivers, adding guest ok=yes may clear up the "Access Denied" errors. Be sure that you have "guest account" and "Map to Guest" configured in smb.conf. Use SWAT to get to the smb.conf readme for more info.

[Samba] Printing issue
I'm trying to setup a print server for Samba clients to use. I have a HP LaserJet 4 connected to /dev/lp0 and I'm using the LPRng spooling package. Documents printed from Windows clients make it to the printer. However the printed documents, mostly Excel/Word documents, have various abberations on them. Graphical flaws, the text seems fine. In addition I seem to get 2 copies for some reason. Also when I look at the print queue via Windows I get, "Access denied, unable to connect." I have no filters in place, using -l with the lpr print command, as I do not wish to print directly from the Samba box. Any suggestions?
