Well just to give you a little sample of me samba.conf: [B2] printer = B2 printer driver location = /usr/local/drivers printable = yes printer driver = HP LaserJet 4 print command = lp -d B2 -o %f %s Yes i know some of them are obselete as i will soon replace them with the Imprints method. There are multiple entries like this for each printer on-site. The Global part goes: [global] path = /var/tmp wins server = 192.168.3.1 auto services = global printing = cups dns proxy = No printer driver file = /usr/bin postscript = yes null passwords = yes character set = ISO8859-15 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 keepalive = 30 printcap name = lpstat_sleep max log size = 200 password level = 8 interfaces = 192.168.3.8/255.255.252.0 username level = 8 writeable = no which i believe is suffiecent for the task? --- Mark Evans <mpe@st-peters-high.devon.sch.uk> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 02, 2003 at 02:16:07PM +0100, Steve

Ok i've added profile.local file, inserted me alias command, sourced it then made sure samba had the correct settings and restarted both samba and cups services. Unfortunately its still not retaining jobs and multiple jobs still get through :/
That's because it only affects when lpr is called from the shell. To take effect in samba you'd need to modify or add a "print command" line in your smb.conf.
