Hi Walter,
i have the same setup samba 3.07 , cups win xp serv pack 2 german.
I have noticed that something changed in behavior after the upgrade
to win xp serv pack 2 , but non of your described failures are comming
up in my setups for hp laser printers , and canon bjc 2000 as well
as my pdf printer.
I only noticed after upgrade to serv pack 2 that ich have to refresh
the pinter icon in the taskbar now after printing is done to disapear.
also my standart paper size is now switching to letter and not
staying to default dina 4.
But i have not upgraded my cups or/and win drivers ( which is
allways recomended ), i wanted to cotroll this stuff these days but
as this bugs are not really heavy for me , i will wait until there
is time.
I dont think this is really a problem with samba.
Are you using cups?
YES, I think it is cups 1.1.20
How is your smb.conf
very simple: Here the relevant parts:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = CSINTERN
server string = col Samba Server on RedHat
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 100000

**************************************
, have you checked cups logs,
nothing special!
do you have the latest printers?
Yes, actual drivers
What are this Printers ( Manufacter )
Kyocera, HP ...
Have disabled the xp firewall
Tried with and without firewall
as well as the webclient services on xp,
tried with enabled and disabled
what are the event logs talking at the win xp?
only on XP startup I get an error message:
you can see in the appended temp.jpg
If you don't see it:
It is a message in sytem part.
Source is MRxSmb
Type is warning
Event number is 3019
Text is: ( if I try to translate): Redirector Service cannot
recognize the type of connection
Is file sharing running corect with your samba machine?
Yes, no problem, even with MS Access
Is it a stand alone spooler ,
???
do you do accounting,
nothing setup
are you printing
via a printserver device
yes, network print server, done over CUPS
or direct over lpd/usb
no!
Do you use postscript/ghostscript filters, or direct win drivers?
direct win drivers
All this stuff must be tested and controlled to give you the right
answer/help...there is no naturally reason why printing with samba
should fail with win xp as far i know
It does not fail, the startup of the print dialogue is just very slow
!! When removing SP2, the problem has gone!
Best Regards

We have problems with printing after installing XP SP2.
In nearly every software it takes about 10 seconds to 30 seconds,
if you click on "Print-Button" and wait for the print dialogue window.
Extremly slow are programs like MS Word (30 seconds, when you open
a document the first time).
Another problem, (but I am sure it's not a samba related problem):
In some word documents you have problems viewing embedded graphics.
Sometimes you see the graphics, sometimes not. It is not a problem
with wrong settings (View - Use placeholders for Graphics). In
preview there is no graphics, maybe after some scrolling the
graphics appear, on the printout graphics are contained.
Samba installed is 3.0.7 (compiled on RH 9.0 with standard options)!
