Printer Control from Windows

[cyoung]

I have several printers connected to a RedHat server and I am using SAMBA to share them with my Windows clients.

Does anyone know of a utility that will run in Windows that will allow me to control the printer queues on the Linux server? Currently I go to the console and remove jobs by logging in as root.

I hate printing. I use cups. cups is simple. cups works with samba. cups can be administered from a web page. Try it.

And no, I don't know of any windows app to control printing on linux from windows. Seriously, try cups, it handles most modern printers and is a breeze to set up. you could even share it to windows boxes without using samba!
