Hi - I'm running samba-2.0.10 on FreeBSD 4.4R. Through Samba Windows clients 
can print to a LaserJet 2100.

Here's the thing - when the LaserJet has a problem (say, runs out of paper) the 
FreeBSD box is locked solid - literally won't accept a keystroke on the 
console. As soon as the printer is happy again (paper replaced, say) the 
console comes back to life. 

Even if the printer doesn't have a problem for a brief moment on each page the 
screen response seems to be very slow (it may in fact be frozen but for a very 
short period, hard to tell)

Has anyone experienced this themselves ? Does anyone have any ideas what I 
should do to fix it ?

The printcap entry looks like :

lp|lj|Laserjet 2100 printer:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:mx#0\
	:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
	:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
	:ff=\033E\033&k2G\033&l0O\033(8U:fo:sh:tr=\033E:

Any ideas ?

thanks

richard shea
