[Samba] configure print job priority for individual user
We have lately configured a Linux box as a file and print server using Samba (RC2)+XFS+Winbind. It is up and running. We are able to publish the Samba shares and printers in AD. We, however, got stuck when we tried to configure the priority level a user can assign to a job submitted to the print service. Wonder if we can do it in Samba, so that a group of AD users have higher priority level than other AD users when sending jobs to the print service. We are at the moment using LPRng as the print system in our Linux box. I understand that under Unix, e.g., UnixWare 7, one can configure the priority limit for users sending jobs to the print service with the command, /usr/sbin/lpusers -q priority_level -u username Wonder if there is such a facility or sth similar in Linux. We can set the priority of a job in Windows, but I wonder if the priority level configured in Windows will be effective when the job is sent to the Samba server, which, in turn, hand over the print job to LPRng.
