samba - Jun 2005 - Samba Share Refresh Problem

Hello,
   I have search up and down about this problem and I have since a lot of 
posts of people who have had the problem but no solutions so I am posting 
here hoping that someone can help me out.

Here is the scenario. I have Samba Version 3.010 running on Ubuntu 5.04. 
Everything is working very well with the exception of one item.

I have created a shared and when I create a new folder I have to manually do 
a refresh before I can rename the folder. If I perform this same operation 
in a home share I do NOT have the problem. When creating the folder in the 
home share it asks to provide a name for the folder as it is created. I have 
double checked my smb.conf and I can not find anything to explain this. Does 
anyone have any insight to this problem?

Hi All,

I have a serious problem with my Samba printing.  Basically, it is totally 
broken.  The symptoms include client machines waiting forever for a print 
dialog to appear, especially Win2k machines, and a complete inability to 
get a properties dialog reliably.  I run Samba 3.0.14a + OpenLDAP 2.2.24 on 
Solaris 8 on a V880.  My smb.conf is as below.  Any advice would be 
appreciated.

Check the network traffic for an XP client send
GetPrinterData() requests over and over.  Is there
an smbd process that is taking up a lot of CPU?
Does the problem only occur for a specific printer
driver?  Or all drivers?  All clients?  or a
specific client?
