printing dialog problem (slow) 2.2.1a

hi,

i am using samba 2.2.1.a
"all" is working fine:
file sharing
uploading and downloading printer drivers is working (very nice!!)
printing is working

-- but:
1.) if i open a document (in my case ms-word 97) it takes up to 15
seconds for opening and displaying
2.) also when the file is open and i try to change the standard printer
it takes very long (up to 5 minutes) till the printing dialog is
available again  (this happens to autocad docs too)
3.) up to 5 minutes it can take if i open a document with fonts, which
are not installed on the system - i changed the fonts to available fonts
and the speed changed too.
4.) opening the printer dialog - double-clicking a printer on the
printer control panel it take up to 2 minutes to display the properties.

that are my problems, but i think they have the same reason!!

i tried the tests with files stored locally (on C:) and on a network
drive
i noticed a abnormally high load on the smbd process of the user
changing the printer


that are my problems, but i think they have the same reason!!

i have an other hint:
when i connect printer with samba 2.0.10 then in the printer dialog on
the connection (german anschl?sse) tab there is an add. connection over
lan-manager visible and checked on.
if a printer is connected over version 2.2.0 or 2.2.1a then there is no
add. connection available and checked!
i guess that can be a reason too.

now i am running samba 2.0.10 again and its working fine - no
performance problems!!
i will change to the version 2.2.1a when the problem is solved.

hope, that somebody can help me!

thanks,
philipp



this is my config:
suse 7.0 on compaq proliant ml350 256mb 100gb raid-5 (smart 431)
raiserfs
samba 2.2.1a
ldap - server for userauthentication (PAM)
nt4 - server as PDC and BDC for password
there is one netbios name for file sharing and one alias for print
serving
clients are on win2k (with sr1 and without sr) - both with the same
problem

Can you try the latest SAMBA_2_2 cvs code and see if this is still
reproducible?

Are you connected to the Samba box as a "printer admin" or root?
Can you send me a level 10 debug log?

printing dialog problem (slow) 2.2.1a

on win2k i tried to loggin as administrator and "main user"
(hauptbenutzer - on
german)
on samba the setting
printer admin = @admin
let me be printer admin in both cases.
.) i will try it without the setting printer admin and try again
-- but a different user - the user who made me look for this problem is not
printer
admin
-- and he has the same problem

.) i noticed this:

- if the printer was connected to the win2k station with an old samba v2.0.x,
the
printer properties dialog remembers the port connection status to the
lan-manager-printer when i switch to samba 2.2.1a (CVS)
this means also that the dialog is "fast" on samba 2.2.1a

- if i connect a new (or the same) printer from samba 2.2.1a the
lan-manager-printer
is not created in the printer
properties dialog - should that be like this?

should i send the log-file to your address only - because the list restriction
is
40k?
