Hi,
I installed a samba printer, that maps to a script to generate pdf files. It works, but there's a notable delay when selecting or printing to the printer: when I click 'print' in an application and I select the samba printer, there's a delay of about 5 to 10 seconds before the printer is accepted, and I can effectively print.
Any clues on what could be the cause (and the resolution :) ) See configs below...
