[Samba] Slow Spool speed!

[Joel Hammer]

Just a thought, but, is this dos or a windows program doing the printing?

Does this delay happen when you send print jobs directly from the samba
server?

You do have one odd think in your /etc/printcap. You are using the samba
spool directory as the spool directory for the lprng. Is this a good idea?
