Hi Jerry,

Looks like it is happening on all clients, though some behave at first. No smbd process appears to be gathering time too quickly, though one has a bit of time for a user who is quite busy at the moment. I am using point and print with a new client, and some smbd's are collecting about a second every few seconds or so.

Now, I got a dialog saying that two of my printers did not have the correct drivers installed. I am going through the Printers and Faxes share to try to upload the drivers, but I get stony silence from my server.

I'd like to eliminate the simple stuff first: What should the permissions on the [print$] section path be?


Also, annoying side-effect of using printing = sysv

                  request, since no record of it remains.

Check the network traffic for an XP client send
GetPrinterData() requests over and over.  Is there
an smbd process that is taking up a lot of CPU?
Does the problem only occur for a specific printer
driver?  Or all drivers?  All clients?  or a
specific client?



cheers, jerry
