Windows 2000, Samba, and Cancelling Print Jobs? 21
Kerry McDonald asks: "I have a Linux server running Samba, and my Windows 2000 users are unable to cancel print jobs once they are sent to the server. Has anyone seen this problem? I have checked all the Samba settings, and they all seem to allow user access, but for some reason it still will not work. Help!"

I usually get NT admin guys to delete them.
In this case I think once the job gets onto the Linux system its different. Youd have to delete them under your Linux logon. Hope this helps.

It seems a little odd to me, that seems like something that would be fairly simple to set up, at least from the *nix end. There's the matter of trapping the correct command from the Windows side, of course, but that seems like one they would have caught by now. Is the problem just under Windows 2000, or other Windows versions as well?

After you've got your answer, why don't you buy a tshirt [samba.org] to say thanks? I've done it before too and its a nice gesture.

I just figured it was a setup bug in our network. Maybe it's a Samba bug instead.

The following are nice to know about:
queuepause command - stop a printer or print queue
queueresume command - start a printer or print queue
Example:
print command =
lpq command =
lprm command =
queuepause command =
queueresume command =
Samba should set reasonable defaults for these depending on your
system type, but it isn't clairvoyant. It is not uncommon that you
have to tweak these for local conditions. The commands should
always have fully specified pathnames, as the smdb may not have
the correct PATH values.
You DID check those, right?
