I've had a Samba 3.0.2 Print Server running for nearly 7 months now without too much of a hitch on RedHat Enterprise "ES" 3.0. Late last week, RedHat issued an Errata that moved Samba from the 3.0.2 base to the 3.0.4 base. So when I did the "up2date" this weekend as part of my normal maintenance, this server was updated and everything appeared to be fine.
Things are working, print jobs are getting sent so for the most part I am happy. But, I am experiencing one problem. The Windows printer queue (I have a mixed set of clients - mostly Windows 2000 and some Windows XP) show active jobs even *after* the job has completed. I've checked the CUPS Web-Management console and there are no active jobs. Yet on my Windows machine, I have 4 printers that show to have a total of 47 print jobs in the queue. Here is a snippet of the Print Server's smb.conf: ================================================= [global] # Server Name and description workgroup = nesbitt.local netbios name = valykyrie server string = Samba 3 Print and Backup Server # Samba log information log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 7168 # Security information security = user encrypt passwords = yes # To help performance socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 # Settings for PDC setup local master = no os level = 0 domain master = no preferred master = no domain logons = no # Activate these Network Services wins server = 10.200.8.253 # LDAP Declarations -- Needed to allow the LDAP backend to work ldap suffix = dc=nesbitt,dc=local ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=nesbitt,dc=local passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://stargazer.nesbitt.local ldap delete dn = no ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap filter = (&(uid=%u)(objectClass=sambaSamAccount)) ldap passwd sync = yes # Global settings for printers printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes use client driver = yes # Oplocks settings - disable all oplocks for compatibility reasons oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no kernel oplocks = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba public = yes guest ok = yes writeable = no printable = yes ================================================= Has anyone experienced this? What other information is needed to help diagnose this issue? Any help would be welcomed... -- Kevin L.
