Oh, that's certainly an option, yes, but if you'd like to see the done jobs in, say, lpq normally (or at least have the capability of seeing them), then you are not able to do this. Instead, you'd want something to throw onto the end of the lpq line in smb.conf that would tell lpq to not show them for just that one application.
This is the case for me. If I have done_jobs set to 5, and my DesignJet runs out of ink or paper, I don't have to call the user back in to re-queue the job, I can just 'lpc redo' it. However, Windows is unable to do this in the first place (it can only pause and unpause - done jobs appear paused, but so what, you can't issue a redo with Windows (unless you can afford to set the pause/unpause commands differently (I can't))), so what do I need them displayed in the listing for? Incidentally, Samba does have special support for working with LPRng, but I don't believe it's exactly caught up to allow for all of the special features that LPRng has by now. You can use it perfectly for simple stuff, but... some things confuse it a little. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - New Jersey Medical School - C630 On Mon, 29 Jul 2002, Akop Pogosian wrote: > On Wed, Jul 24, 2002 at 10:30:33AM -0400, Ryan Novosielski wrote: > > You note in the HOWTO that done jobs could be a problem for Samba.
