--nextPart5532184.c3QhlbByAu Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, (Please excuse my overly complicated message) I just bought a usb laser printer (Lexmark E232). After some hours of diggi= ng,=20 I ended up having it working with cups+foomatic under a Laserjet 4 driver i= n=20 =46reeBSD. It works fine. But, to further complicate things, I wanted my printer to be accessible by = XP=20 users on the same workgroup so I added a share in samba : [printers] path =3D /var/spool/samba use client driver =3D Yes printable =3D yes public =3D yes guest ok =3D yes writable =3D no As user "Alpha" I can see my share from XP so I tried to print a test page. Windows asks me= =20 for the drivers, which I provide and my test page prints about 5-6 minutes= =20 later and most complicated documents don't print. Then I log in as user "Beta" and he sees the printer, can print instantly a= nd=20 everything is fine. Yet user "Alpha" takes hours to print. So I figured, let's make a second printer in cups to the same physical prin= ter=20 and install the same drivers in XP, but this time in user "Beta". Not=20 surprisingly, that "new" printer in user "Beta" takes infinitly long to pri= nt=20 but now user "Alpha" can print instantly using that printer. Can anyone guess why or how to fix this behavior? Thanks!
