Hmmmm....
The original poster was talking about the file name not showing up in the
queue, and now you are talking about a delay in execution of a printing
filter. It is hard to comment on that problem unless I see your smb.conf and
your /etc/printcap, What kind of clients are keep waiting?
Why are you sending pdf jobs, anyway? Why not just use a generic postscript
driver on a windows client (HP laserjet III plus works fine) and send the
job to any print server queue that understands postscript?
