Hello Alpaslan,
you have to put in a spool directoy statement for each printer on the print
server.
If you don't put in that :sd=<path>: LINUX assumes that the receiving
partner is a
true spooler which can handle multiple requests an queues then up itself.
If you put in that :sd=<path>: LINUX first queues up all the requests and
sends
them out to the receiving partner one by one.
Hope it helps
