Using system-config-printer, I discovered that the raw printer queue had not
be set to shareable, so I enabled that, then tried another print from XP.
Nothing came out, but at least the print queue no longer looked 'bunged up'.
Examining the Completed Jobs list I found several entries like
Printer-1144 smbprn.00000044 Home - Mandriva Anne 230k cancelled at
Tue Nov 14 22:10:06 2006
I did not cancel anything - it wouldn't let me. Looking at the timestamps for
the cancellations, though, maybe it did cancel, or at least mark it to be
cancelled later.
I then, as root, tried to restart the last job (tried it on another one, too)
and got
Error:
client-error-not-possible
I have only ever seen that in the past when I was not logged in as root.
Has *anyone* any idea what is happening? It doesn't make any sense to me at
all. I'm beginning to wonder if an update has introduced a bug.
