Greetings,
I have commented out the "wins support" line, restarted samba and
added the printer with the slow driver. No difference in performance.
I also tried moving "wins" to the end of the name resolve order, also
no difference.
I'd rather not bring the Internet to a halt by sending around the 987k
log file, but those wishing to see it can go to:

Anyone have any thoughts? --Chris

| It may have nothing to do with your printing problem, but you should
| never have both "wins support" and "wins server" in the same smb.conf.
| If this system is the WINS server, then use "wins support". If another
| system is the WINS server, then use "wins server". This might be
| significant since wins is listed first in "name resolve order" and a lot
| of network printers now come with WINS support.
|
| I don't know a thing about lprng printing (CUPS exclusively), so I can't
| help you there. The logs may be necessary.
