samba - Oct 2004 - Samba just Slow with AutoCad?

Dear Brian,

i am very interesting,  whether you've already solved your problem with  
the delaing when opening a print (plot) dialog box in autocad,  because 
i have the same one. When you did, i'd like to ask you for the solution. 
When you didn't , try unplug the network cable from the switch. After 
them this "delaying" problem will not occur. It sounds like a 
madness,
but....it works. Of course you can't print, but the dialog box opens 
immediately.  Where is then the problem....?

You always have the posibility to setup your printer like a it would 
print to lpt1 and later change the print port to your samba server queue.
You will loose the posibility to see who is in the queue before you, but 
the delays are gone. Choose your poison.
