[Samba] Slow printers share

[Joel Hammer]

I suspect that you are being laid low by obscure behavior of the printers
and the print$ shares.

Why don't you just make up a printer share specific for the printer you
are trying to use? That might solve your problem and if not it would be
easier to troubleshoot such an arrangement.

iI would get rid of the print$ section first. If no help, ul On Sat, Feb 22, 2003 at 03:45:30PM +1000, Christopher Dawson wrote:
