Hi Walter,
i have the same setup samba 3.07 , cups win xp serv pack 2 german.
I have noticed that something changed in behavior after the upgrade to win xp serv pack 2 , but non of your described failures are comming
up in my setups for hp laser printers , and canon bjc 2000 as well as my pdf printer.
I only noticed after upgrade to serv pack 2 that ich have to refresh
the pinter icon in the taskbar now after printing is done to disapear.
also my standart paper size is now switching to letter and not staying to default dina 4.
But i have not upgraded my cups or/and win drivers ( which is allways recomended ), i wanted to cotroll this stuff these days but as this bugs are not really heavy for me , i will wait until there is time.
I dont think this is really a problem with samba.
Are you using cups?

YES, I think it is cups 1.1.20

How is your smb.conf

very simple: Here the relevant parts:

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = CSINTERN
        server string = col Samba Server on RedHat
        log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
        max log size = 100000
        deadtime = 60
        preferred master = No
        domain master = No
        ldap ssl = no
        printer admin = root, walterw, fritzw, gerhardj
        hosts allow = 192.168.1.


[homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0750

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printer admin = root, walterw
        create mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        use client driver = Yes
        browseable = No

[print$]
        comment = Share fuer Printer Treiber
        path = /usr/local/samba/lib/printers
        write list = root, walterw, fritzw, gerhardj

[kyocera-ps]
        comment = Kopierdrucker mit Duplexfunktion
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printer admin = root, walterw
        read only = No
        create mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        printer name = KYOCERA
        use client driver = Yes
        oplocks = No
        share modes = No

**************************************


, have you checked cups logs,

nothing special!

do you have the latest printers?

Yes, actual drivers

What are this Printers ( Manufacter )

Kyocera, HP ...

Have disabled the xp firewall

Tried with and without firewall

as well as the webclient services on xp,

tried with enabled and disabled

what are the event logs talking at the win xp?

only on XP startup I get an error message: you can see in the appended temp.gif If you don't see it: It is a message in sytem part. Source is MRxSmb Type is warning Event number is 3019 Text is: ( if I try to translate): Redirector Service cannot recognize the type of connection

Is file sharing running corect with your samba machine?

Yes, no problem, even with MS Access

Is it a stand alone spooler ,

???

do you do accounting,

nothing setup

are you printing
via a printserver device

yes, network print server, done over CUPS

or direct over lpd/usb

no!

Do you use postscript/ghostscript filters, or direct win drivers?

direct win drivers

All this stuff must be tested and controlled to give you the right answer/help...there is no naturally reason why printing with samba
should fail with win xp as far i know

It does not fail, the startup of the print dialogue is just very slow !! When removing SP2, the problem has gone!

Best Regards

We have problems with printing after installing XP SP2.
In nearly every software it takes about 10 seconds to 30 seconds, if you click on "Print-Button" and wait for the print dialogue window.
Extremly slow are programs like MS Word (30 seconds, when you open a document the first time).


Another problem, (but I am sure it's not a samba related problem): In some word documents you have problems viewing embedded graphics. Sometimes you see the graphics, sometimes not. It is not a problem with wrong settings (View - Use placeholders for Graphics). In preview there is no graphics, maybe after some scrolling the graphics appear, on the printout graphics are contained.

Samba installed is 3.0.7 (compiled on RH 9.0 with standard options)!

Regards, Walter
