[TriLUG] Weird CUPS printing problem

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

Hey all, I hope somebody can shed some light on this.

I have a linux redhat latest version running cups. Well, I have a bunch
of windows xp clients trying to print to these CUPS raw queues. The y
are behaving problematically because, according to CUPS, there's no jobs
in the queue. However if you look on the XP printer properties, there's
like 600+ jobs there. owned by "nobody". ...oh, and they cannot print at
all.

I know that SAMBA is used to actually share out these printers... what
could the problem be? Perhaps permissions, CUPS cannot delete the jobs
from the queues in SAMBA? I don't know what's happening. I only have a
basic understanding of CUPS & SAMBA, unfortunately. Looks like I get the
crash course today...

Thanks all,

WAB

Matt,

Having grown up in "the olden days," I have always used TeX and LaTeX
when I am doing serious documentation work for publishing.

The amount of control that can be exerted from the "command line" is
frequently even larger than necessary.  B-)
