[Samba] How well does printing support scale in Samba 2.2.x ?
Hi, I'm working on a printing project consolidating a bunch of NT machines with a Solaris printing machine. I'm concerned about the scalability if I increase the number of printers from say 20 too 300. How does it effect the response time for looking up and changing device setting etc. Thanks Gunnar Gunnarsson

Word of advice. Administrative connections always take longer since the windows NT/2k client tries to change things even when you don't ask it to. cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team http://www.samba.org -- http://www.plainjoe.org "Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed.

The lookups will be done directly into the tdb record for that printer. We're planning on bringing up a 4000 printer queue machine here at HP. Jeremy.

Jerry, Where can I find a list of the things Win2k tries to change? It would help me figure out when I should enable/disable admin status for my account (especially printer admin). I already know that if I = a printer admin, I can't view the properties of a printer on my PC, or the shared printer on the samba box, once I've installed a connection to that printer on my Win2k PC.
