I am running SuSE V8.0, and Samba 2.2.7a on a small network server. I have been having problems relating to sorting out printing from an NT4 workstation to a laser printer on the Samba server.

After having loaded the print drivers using the APW all the printer ports show a local port on the samba server and all of my printers use a 192.168.10.X address. Is there anyway this can automatically happen without user intervention. I wasn't able to locate this info in the how to's.

I am having problems printing to a Samba printer from my Windows 2000 machines. While eventually it does print, it takes an extremely long time. The test page takes over 5 minutes to print. I have tracked it to the Samba spooling process. The delay is in Windows sending the information to the Samba spool. If I look in the Samba spool directory during the print process, the file size increases very

We're trying to share an Epson USB inkjet printer via Samba 3.0.2-7 on our new Fedora server. The share is set up OK, and can be seen and opened from Windows clients.

Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
