We are using Samba to share out printers configured using Cups on a RHEL
3 Update 4 server with both Samba and Cups running on the same server.
We have a problem where after some time (sometimes a couple of days,
sometimes only a few hours) the print jobs in the queue appear to just
keep building up. Eventually there can be hundreds of jobs appearing in
there when looked at from a Windows box, many from hours before, and no
new jobs will print. The funny thing is that when this happens CUPS (via
the lpq command on the RHEL 3 server) reports that there are no jobs in
the print queues.
It looks like Samba's print queue somehow loses sync with the actual
print queue maintained by Cups and Samba just ends up never deleting
jobs from its print queue - even after Cups has successfully printed
them. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
Tim Edwards
