Hi there, I thought my problem was in Samba because the time is lost in the smbd process and only after receiving all the information the cups system is triggers. This was I thought.
After your message, I'll try changing to LPRNG to see it it works. Tomorrow I'll send more news. Thanks for the help. -- Miguel Manso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Quoting Alexandros Gougousoudis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > I had nearly the same problem.
