I'm running Samba 3.0.14a-2 on FC4 as a print server. The system is
joined to the domain and I'm using the domain security model. Pretty
much, it's configured like my old Samba 2.2.7 server (which this new box
is replacing). On the PC side, printers are assigned to a user via a
VBScript running under a group policy. The first time that script runs
and tries to add the printer to the windows machine for a specific user
(all our windows machine are XP SP2), it takes anywhere from 2 to 6
minutes. The next time that same user logs in, it's quick. When a
DIFFERENT user logs in for the first time to the SAME machine, it again
can take from 2 to 6 minutes. If, however, the same script is instead
attempting to connect printers on the Samba 2.2.7 server, all is quick
in every case.
I'm not sure if this is a configuration issue (don't know what parameter
might affect it), a bug, or a problem in the windows domain. Any idea
where to look and for what? What information might be helpful for me to
post. I have included below the global, printers and print$ sections of
smb.conf.
