Dear all, We are trying to get the Windows client to print thought postscript printers to SAMBA box, Windows apps (Words, Outlook, etc..) freeze for a long time to spool and print to SAMBA ghostscript. We have a windows 2000 PDC and using SAMBA 2.2.4. Normal SAMBA file sharing, browsing and transfers are fast. I sincerely thank you for your help. Regards Steven

Otherwise it doesn't work very well because the files come out owned by the user the print spooler runs as, which under NT means Administrator. Ordinary users are unable to move or delete them. (Windows 2000 may have the same problem.) I haven't had much of a problem with excessive CPU load, but that may be because our office is small and not very many people make PDFs on any given day.
