Hi there, I've tryed the settings you've suggested me and the situation is the same.
The software versions I'm using are: Windows version: XP Pro Samba version: 2.2.7a CUPS version: 1.1.19-1 Printing a 6 pages document takes 1 minute or so... Again, I think it's a samba related problem because until the process arrives the CUP system, it takes that minute. While the time passes, there's a smbd process working and working and working... Any clue? Thx. -- Miguel Manso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Quoting Karl Banasky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I thought you need a "guest = yes" in your printer file for Slowdows to have > free access to it.
