That may be the Samba package, not us, in which case it's gonna be hard to do anything about it. Unlike the other printing systems, Samba prints to CUPS by direct C API calls, not exec'ing 'lp*' programs. The new cups (which I am working on) includes a new Samba driver as an extra, although I know no specifics yet. dwcjr - when I get a chance I'll try to see what's going on. Vivek - pardon my idioms, but so ****ing what? Nothing is harmed. My own personal opinion is that this PR should just be closed as not a real issue, but that's without investigation ... and I do *NOT* want to get into a discussion of whether this *is* a real issue or not. -- Alan Eldridge (cups-* maintainer) Unix/C(++) IT Pro, 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
