We have a management program which runs on a Linux server. Each workstation (windows pcs) connects to the Linux server and work with the management software. Each pc can print result from the software on a local printer shared with samba, thus each pc shares the printer and the linux servers has all printers loaded as smb printers. Since the software runs in the server itself, prints are produced from the server and delivered via samba. Is there a way to leave a printing document in the queue untill it is printed? I mean, if the windows printer is switched off, can the server (lpd or cups) retry untill the printer is turned on? Thanks, Luca -- Luca Ferrari, fluca1978@virgilio.it
