Manage win print jobs to linux printer

by rouse . Updated 23 years, 8 months ago

I have a printer smb-shared off a linix box to my win98 clients. Works fine most of the time until a family member blows off the windows logon and later decides to print something. The job gets paused in the queue after an win error msg. I cannot unpause the job after authenticating because: ‘You do not have permission to modify…’ message (I’m sure you’ve seen this). All subsequent jobs are held up. I can delete the job. This is frustrating since sometimes the info is a confirmation (print itnow or lose it forever), and it’s easy to click print and move on.
So, I’m trying to find one of three things:
1 Is there a linux print queue manager which will allow me as root to requeue print jobs?
2 How does one requeue a print job from either linux server or win client which was sent from non-login user?
3 How do I force family members to always login from windows machines (they all have accounts on linux machine & linux runs 24×7)?
Thanks for your insights.
Keith
