samba - Dec 2002 - Slow Printer Connection (net use ... )

net use lpt1: \\node\prt

On a slow VMS Box with pathworks this cmd runs in 1 sec.

On a Dual 1G Linux Box with 2.2.7 samba it takes about 7-8 seconds on a 350 PC.
I am using lprng and loading the printers from the printcap file.

Does anyone have any idea's on how to speed this up?

I tried it on several samba servers and it works the same on all of them.

I'm not trynig anything fancy just standard printer sharing.

Make sure there isn't some network problem, like unsuccessful DNS lookup or
attempts at authentication.
