Hi there,
I thought my problem was in Samba because the time is lost in the smbd process
and only after receiving all the information the cups system is triggers. This
was I thought.
After your message, I'll try changing to LPRNG to see it it works. Tomorrow I'll
send more news.
Thanks for the help.
