Greetings,
I have a client running samba-3.0.24 with mostly Windows-XP clients.
They can print to some printers (those with drivers provided by Microsoft)
without problem.
They can also print to printers with vendor supplied printer drivers
but they end up waiting up to 30 seconds just to select the printer.
There is a similar wait when adding the printer to the list of printers
the XP client knows about.
This does not appear to be the much discussed registry problem, as
we have repeatedly removed these registry entries and, though they come
back, there is no performance improvement. Also, when people have
described the registry problem they have not said that it was driver
dependent. Furthermore, as I understand the registry problem, it occurs
when there are non-existant printers listed ... which there are not in
our case.
There is no firewall between the client and the server except that which
Microsoft provides, and we still have the problem with that completely
disabled.
Here is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = FUZZBALL
netbios name = fzb3
netbios aliases = fzb3
server string = fzb3
bind interfaces only = true
interfaces = eth0
null passwords = Yes

[printers]
[cr1000]
print command = lpr -Fl -r -P%p %s

printer = cr1000
printable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = Yes
guest only = Yes
public = yes
writable = no
path = /var/spool/samba/cr1000
Does anybody have any ideas here? The packet traces and samba log files
indicate that the PC is sending many transactions which are failing
but I am inexpert at decoding exactly what is wrong with them. I can
include log files, but I am wondering if anyone knows of anything off the
top of their head?
All my web searches to date have revealed the registry issue but nothing
beyond that.
Thanks! --Chris
