[Samba] Issue with Samba and Microsoft Word

[Michael Luevane]

Thanks, Amy.

I looked at my logs and I saw that there was a permission error. I did a bit
of looking around and changed the permissions on the cups directory to 1777.
Now Windows says the print job was sent. But it never shows up on the Linux
side.

Time for some more pokin' around :)

Michael,
This same thing just happened to me today.  I went into the properties of
the printer on the win2000 machine and the port had not been assigned
correctly even though I had the path correct \\fmtliv\newcon and the driver
correct.  Check your port, I hope this helps.
Amy

Hello, all

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this:

I'll arrive in the morning, start Microsoft Word. It takes 30-45 seconds to
open.
I'll hit the File menu item - takes about 30 secnods to open.

If I close Word and open it back up, it all works fine (i.e., no delays).
If I close Word and come back to it in half an hour or so, it all starts
over.

I think I've posted this here before, but I don't remember. My apologies if
I did. I'm still trying to find an answer, and if I can't, we'll most likely
be switching from Samba to Win2K server.

Word is configured so that the everything in the Options|File Locations is
on the C: drive except for the Workgroup templates, which is out on the
server.

My smb.conf is below.

Many many many thanks in advance.
