I sent the following on Friday : I have 3 samba printers. They are configured in smb.conf identically except for name of course. Two printers print from windows clients reliably, the others don't. The printers on the M$ boxes all configured \\server\printer as their destination. I can successfully lp via unix to them. They worked on Monday and for many months before. We rebooted the server on Monday night and now I have problems. Smb.conf has not changed for months. It seems as though at some point in time after I print direct from Unix, I can send one print job to the printer OK but then all subsequent ones fail. Also there is another user who seems to be able to print successfully to all three printers. I have checked the contents of /var/spool/lp/logs/requests and can see successful jobs from this other userid going through OK and and the jobs I send through as unix user going OK. I have also seen my one-time jobs OK but not the others. Seems to me as though somewhere in the print chain a security permission is being messed with but I can't seem to find anything that is up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Upon further trail searching, I have since found from the log.<username> files in /var/samba/log that the problem is being reported as allocate_print_jobid: failed to allocate a print job for queue nswprint Regards Ron Daniel -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
