hi,since I upgraded some winxp-pro sp2 client to sp3, my samba-shared printers are no-longer usable :-/ With sp3, if I run notepad and choose the menù File-Print, the "print" window hangs and does not show any printer for about 1 minute! The same thing happens when I click on the menù Start-settings-Printer and faxes. With sp2, everything works correctly and I can browse all my configured samba-printers. This is the way I added printers ... In my PDC I configued 2 samba-printers( \\mypdc\printer1 and \\mypdc\printer2), then I logged in as administrator and globally added printers using, as suggested in the samba doc, the "RunDLL32 PrintUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry" command: :: to delete previously added printers... RunDLL32 PrintUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /gd /n \\mypdc\printer1 /q RunDLL32 PrintUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /gd /n \\mypdc\printer2 /q :: to add samba-shared printers GLOBALLY... Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n \\mypdc\printer1 /q Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n \\mypdc\printer2 /q Then I rebooted the client once. Should I disable some strange sort of "security" feature? And ideas or useful pointer ?
I'm not sure if it's a samba issue or really an XP client issue. If you google xp sp3 slow printing you see a few people having this problem, not just with samba...
