Waiting for printer to finish - error

[peter at castandcrew.com]

Hi,

I just install CUPS-1.1.22 on a RedHat 9 box.
I compiled it and installed it from source. Everything went smoothly.
Got no errors.

Before I start the server here is what I changed in cupsd.conf:
  FileDevice Yes
  PreserveJobHistory No

The only printer I added is a network HP LaserJet 4050
  lpadmin -p sdlpgreg -E -v socket://sdlpgreg:9100

To test printing I ran this command:
  echo "test" | lp -d sdlpgreg

The page printed but here is the output of lpstat command:
  scheduler is running
  system default destination: sdlpgreg
  device for sdlpgreg: socket://sdlpgreg:9100
  sdlpgreg accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
  printer sdlpgreg is idle.  enabled since Jan 01 00:00
        Print file sent, waiting for printer to finish...

The message "Print file sent, waiting for printer to finish..." stays there
until CUPS is restarted.

In general everything print but what makes people complain is when they
print from Windows (through SAMBA) the print queue icon stays in the system
tray and never go away even if there is nothing in the queue.

I assume the CUPS message and the print icon problem are related, aren't they?

The previous version of CUPS I use is 1.1.18 and have no problems there.

Please, any suggestions, tips, anything that may help.

Thank you for your time and for the great product.
Peter
