As mentioned in some other threads, printing is very slow with samba-printers after applying XSP2 to XP. What is especially slow is the point, when you press ctrl-p after working with some document in e.g. MS Word. It takes about 20 seconds on a fast 3 GHZ computer, before you see the printer dialogue.

Walt, I have samba 3.0.7 running on Suse 9.0 pro and Mandrake 7.2. XP clients with SP2. I have fixed numerous slowness issues. I can't decode the debug info below, but what I need to know is "what box you printer is hanging off of??" Is it attached to your linux box or the xp box?? If it is attached to the linux box, you will have to keep working the problem. In this case it is most likely an xp/username problem that you will have to tell cups about so that xp will talk to cups nicely. If it is attached to an xp box, then disable cups 'rccups stop' and I'll bet your printing problem goes away. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

As mentioned in some other threads, printing is very slow with samba-printers after applying XSP2 to XP. What is especially slow is the point, when you press ctrl-p after working with some document in e.g. MS Word. It takes about 20 seconds on a fast 3 GHZ computer, before you see the printer dialogue.

After setting log level to 10, I noticed some error message in the log file, as error packet at smbd/ipc.c(99) cmd=37 (SMBtrans) STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW this message repeats 22 times for one pressing of ctrl-p

If someone is interested, here is a small part of the debug log:

Maybe this helps someone, as it is very boring to wait for printing!
