Shouldn't be taking a few seconds really. This has always happened - you've just never noticed it before. Offhand I'd look at network stuff e.g. speed/duplex mismatch as well as make sure you don't have a mismatch in SMB security policies.

If it stayed as "opening" I would be concerned but a few seconds is probably nothing to worry about. From: Brumbaugh, Luke [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 6 October 2009 6:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Cc: #NetworkAdmin Subject: Windows 2008 R2 print server I recently built a replacement print server adding the print management role to a windows 2008r2 server (64bit). I have also deployed the new print shares to windows xp, vista and windows 7 PCs with group policy. All XP PCs/2003 servers should have the client for group policies & preferences (The name escapes me) Everything is fine but when a user brings up "Printers" it will show opening on the new server printers. That lasts about 3 seconds but is it something I should worry about? Or is this the way a 2008 R2 handles connections? TIA Luke L.
