If a user has choosen this printer as the default printer in his + NT-Session and this printer is not connected to the network + (e.g. switched off) than this user has a problem with the SAMBA- + connection of his filesystems.

When the smbd ist started with debug level 3, you can see that the + NT spooling system try to connect to the printer many times. If the + printer ist not connected to the network this request fails and the + NT spooler is wasting a lot of time to connect to the printer service. + This seems to be the reason for the slow network connection. + + 4.) Maybe it's possible to change this behaviour by setting different printer + properties in the Print-Manager-Menu of NT, but i didn't try it + yet. + + I hope this information will help in some way. + + Stefan Hergeth <hergeth@f7axp1.informatik.fh-muenchen.de> + + =============================================================================== SECTION FIVE: Specific client application problems ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
