Hello,
My name is Shane Drinkwater. I have had a problem since samba-3.0.25 with printing being very, very slow. It takes about 15- 30 seconds for the print dialog box to appear. After selecting OK the print happens in a reasonable time. File serving performance seems to be similar to previous revs of samba. I did read the "Problems with slow printing (and name resolving?)" thread. I do not have any printers that have been discontinued, plus new workstations are seeing the same slowness in printing. Has anyone else seen this or have a hint as to what is happening??
I am running on Red Hat Enterprise 5 with samba-3.0.25b/Cups 1.2.4
