[Samba] Re: Need solution to Printers window access denied, unable to connect message.

[Ronald]

  Note1: It does take about a minute for the <opening> message to be
replaced by the ready message But I
                 guess it is authenticating with the NT PDC during this
time delay.

can anyone confirm this. i have been wondering why its now taking a minute.
