Over the last few days, our users have started experiencing delays in printing. In the log files (for the client), we now see [2011/01/05 11:12:34.360166, 1] libsmb/cliconnect.c:2216(cli_start_connection) cli_start_connection: failed to connect to MACHINENAME<20> (::ffff:IPADDRESS). Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL As new systems are affected, these errors appear. We get about 7 of them (every 10 seconds) and then the print job completes. Suggestions? Thoughts? Tom

Thoughts?This is smbd trying to connect back to the client for print notification. I'm going to add a parameter to turn this off, it causes more trouble than it fixes now all clients have firewalls... Jeremy.

Anyway, I was wondering if you had an eta on this as its causing us quite a few issues and we?d like to resolve it asap (i.e. Whether we wait for the samba team to address or look into it ourselves). Thanks Jeremy! Tom
