Samba print queue location

davidsrsb · 07-13-2006, 04:31 AM

I have a department Samba server, which has a hp4100 laserjet on the paralle port as a print server. I can access this from Windows clients either through Samba or IPP direct to cups. Both work ok.

My problem is a lot of old jobs showing in the Samba queue, nothing in the IPP queue to the same printer.
I cannot find the files on the server. I was expecting them to be in /var/spool/samba/cups or similar but no luck so far.

Are you using 3.0.10 or earlier? (Always a good idea to post your version number with questions like this.) It sounds like this bug was fixed in 3.0.11.

Also, it appears that you can delete the completed print jobs out of Windows.

It's a bug *and* a feature!

This machine follows "current" and was installed back in 9.1 days so the version has evolved

Do you have anything in /var/spool/cups?
