Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.>From an XP machine printing to a SAMBA printer, printing is painfully slow.Selecting the printer, and even sending the job through windows makes the app appear non-responsive. The print job is completed fine, but just takes a long time to print. XP boxes with SP1 print like a dream. I've managed to replicate this on 4 boxes all with SP2. I'm running SAMBA 3.0.4.

Hi Rohan> > Hello, > > I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.Yes I've noticed this. I thought shit... The print service has failed. 2-3 Minutes later out comes the print job.... This is with the "firewall" turned off, so something less obvious at hand here.> > >From an XP machine printing to a SAMBA printer, printing is > painfully > >slow. > > Selecting the printer, and even sending the job through > windows makes the app appear non-responsive.

Try to update to 3.0.6 when you get a chance and see if things change. -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.

Any news on this problem? We experienced the same problem. But only from a user who is connected via VPN BTW not only with printing to samba. Also the client/server communication to a hylafax server is lagging extremely.
