Hi,

I acually have a problem to print with Samba ans Cups (Samba 3, Cups and 
OpenLdap). In fact when i try to print from Windows XP Pro SP2 i've a 
very long delay (near 1/2 minutes) between the click on the "print" 
button and the display of the printer selection windows.

During this delay the application seem the freeze and the CPU usage of 
the Samba Server climb and stay near to 95%. When the printer selection 
windows appear on the WinXP the CPU usage on the server go down to 0% !!!

I try to see wich process use all of the CPU but i could not indentify 
nothing (all process shown with "top" or "ps" are near 0% ... while the 
global CPU usage is 95% !).

Any idea ? Thanks in advance for yours answers.

Regards
