Greetings,

We use a dedicated samba-3.3.12+cups-1.3.11 on debian lenny to serve printing (with point and print) to windows clients. We're getting complaints that some clients (win7, vista, XP) have to wait an awful long time from when they hit 'print' to when the job starts coming out of the printer. Other clients (win7, vista, XP) print right away.

I can tail the cups log and see that as soon as it gets the job, it's printed immediately. The issue is cups does not log the job until a few minutes/hours after the problem clients hit print. I have a problem client to try and isolate the problem. The only difference I can see (for now) is that samba logs this when the problem client prints:

A client that prints right away does not get the error above. Why is samba trying to initiate a connection to this client? Could this be the cause of their delay?

thanks and much appreciated,
Ryan
