[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, (Please excuse my overly complicated message) I just bought a usb laser printer (Lexmark E232). After some hours of digging, I ended up having it working with cups+foomatic under a Laserjet 4 driver in FreeBSD. It works fine. But, to further complicate things, I wanted my printer to be accessible by XP users on the same workgroup so I added a share in samba : [printers] path = /var/spool/samba use client driver = Yes printable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no As user "Alpha" I can see my share from XP so I tried to print a test page. Windows asks me for the drivers, which I provide and my test page prints about 5-6 minutes later and most complicated documents don't print. Then I log in as user "Beta" and he sees the printer, can print instantly and 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 printer and install the same drivers in XP, but this time in user "Beta". Not surprisingly, that "new" printer in user "Beta" takes infinitly long to print but now user "Alpha" can print instantly using that printer. Can anyone guess why or how to fix this behavior? Thanks!
