[Samba] Samba AutoCAD 2007 high CPU after printing

[Kurt Weiss]

hello jeremy and jordan.

autodesk announcing explicit, that samba is *not* supportet.
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2872551&linkID=2475323

our costumers are using using AutoCAD from 2002-2007 on samba 2 + 3.
IMHO, samba 2 may be a good choice for AutoCAD.
for example, AutoCAD with samba3 has a problem with special chars in 
filenames.
(ä,ö, will make no problems, ü causes AutoCAD to throw a 
"file-not-found" message.)

printer:
i can't remember, if there's already the parameter "disable spoolss" in 
samba 2. - but this may help.
additional you can play with the ACAD-built spooler (preferences).

sorry, if i interfere this thread, but that are my experiences.
