[Samba] Slow printers share

[Christopher Dawson]

Hi there,


I have set up a server to act as a PDC, file server and print server for a record store I occasionally work at.

Everything is working fine, except browsing the printer share is painfully slow. It's not really a problem, but if something is wrong I'd like to know what it is.

smb.conf contains

----------------------------------------

[global] 
...
	printing = cups
	printcap = cups
...

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	public = yes
	guest ok = yess
	writable = no
	printable = yes
	valid users = @smbuser
	printer admin = root

[print$]
	comment = Printer Drivers
	path = /usr/local/samba/drivers
	browseable = yes
	guest ok = no
	read only = yes
	valid users = @smbuser
	write list = root


-------------------------------------

and the message in the samba log is:

----------------------------------------

[2003/02/22 16:56:39, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_printername_ok(291)
	Unable to get printer status for ::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d} - client-error-not-found

Im using version 2.2.3a12 (debian woody binary) and cups 1.1.14

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? It looks like it's trying to make a connection to a non-existent printer, but all the config files I know of show only the one printer which works fine.

Thanks,

Chris
