Hello Rowland, Gaiseric, LPH & Miguel,

Thanks for all of your replies!

Not having much time at the moment, but to answer some questions...

The server is running Debian 9, our clients all are running Windows 10 
Professional - there's 4 desktops altogether.  Two desktops are a couple 
of years old but very poor, they're slow (my advice was ignored when 
they were ordered), the other two are a year old but of a much better 
specification (this time they listened to me), but the issue is the same 
on all computers.  All are connected via gigabit Ethernet.  At moment, 
the server is a *very* low-end Toshiba laptop started as a trial, but 
we've now got a PowerEdge R230 that we haven't commissioned yet (due to 
a different issue I'm currently trying to resolve).  Here's the smb.conf 
below (note, the printer drivers bit don't work, I've left it for now).

Many thanks for your time again!

With kind regards - Piers
