[Samba] Re: Samba Printing Extremely Slow from Windows XP

[Cabbar Duzayak]

One clarification for the log:

192.168.0.3 is the IP address of the Windows XP client that is trying
to connect to the samba server on linux. And, MYMACHINENAME is the
hostname of that same Windows XP machine. And, this log is from
MYMACHINENAME.log file, which is in samba log dir.

Once again, any help is appreciated.
TIA...
