Hi Kostis,
stop wondering about your lpr(ng) konfiguration, this is rather a fault
(well more a default) from the windows server. Usually a windows box
performs at least 8 - 10 minutes of 'keep-alive' on the port of the
printbox. During this time nobody else will be able to use the box,
imagine what happens if during this time another job arrives on the
windows server so the box can be blocked for ours...
I'm not quite sure if there is a registry entry to manipulate this timeout
behaviour on the windows side, please let us know if you find one :-)
Well maybe you can run a little script on the box that resets the
connection after the transfer of the job as well...
hope this helps
