Description Aaron 2010-08-05 10:05:37 UTC
I'm using Samba v3.5.4 with cups printing. The samba print queue is not clearing out after print jobs have spooled and printed. The jobs do print but the jobs just stay queued once finished. I have to manually go into /var/lib/samba/printing and delete the (printername).tdb then restart samba.. 

Since printing is mostly working I do not have any error logs with any relevant info.

I cannot put this server live until I can get this resolved. 

I've seen mention of this for past samba versions but not for current versions.

I guess you can see segfaults in the log files? I guess this fixed with http://git.samba.org/samba.git/?p=samba.git;a=commit;h=e4ba8fb3b9a6eebe7a56179f67d1aeff64cf1abc
Can you confirm this?

as it works for me with the mentioned fix which is already in v3-5-test I change severity from blocker to normal. Aaron, let us know if we can close it, otherwise please give more detailed information like printer tdb files, smbd.conf etc.

I find the same problem with Samba 3.5.6.
The queue never update.
lpq -PPRINTER give us no jobs
On rpcclient (and windows clients) enumjobs PRINTER give us all the jobs printed.
No cores at all, no problem with permissions.

Log level 6 has this interesting information:
[2010/11/16 18:19:02.054279,  9, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)] printing/nt_printing.c:4011(get_a_printer_2)

  print_cache_expired: cache expired for queue PRINTER (last_qscan_time = -1, time now = 1289927942, qcachetime = 10)

  print_cache_expired: message already pending for PRINTER.  Accepting cache

Ever the same message, the server never check cups and ever check the PRINTER.tdb.

Thanks
