When serving printer drivers to Windows 7 hosts, under what circumstances is it normal for the Windows clients to be locking driver files? Using smbstatus, I see clients constantly touching these files, even in cases where it is highly unlikely that the user is actively installing a printer. I expect that the driver files would be downloaded during the initial printer installation, but it seems that Windows continues to grab at the drivers even after the fact. Is this documented behavior? In the majority of cases the clients seem to release the files quickly, but in a few problematic edge cases I have clients just repeatedly download the drivers over and over. It would be easier to troubleshoot these problem cases if I understood why so many "healthy" clients are also requesting drivers frequently. Thanks, M@
