[Samba] delay while browsing printer list

[Holger Krull]

Hello,

while using samba 2.2.7 with cups as print server for windows clients, 
every user gets a 15-20 seconds freeze of the complete desktop (mouse 
movement still works) when opening the printer list the first time after 
login. (If all printers are closed the can be reproduced).

Has anyone else noticed this ?

The workaround is to use a local printer instead and point its port from 
lpt1: to /servername/printershare. While this stops the delay it 
prevents the users from seeing print jobs of others, not quite what a 
print queue is good for.

Known solutions available?
