- There are some particular issues with Samba and Windows NT
-
- 1) When you mount a printer using the print manager in NT you may find
- the following info from Matthew Harrell <harrell@leech.nrl.navy.mil>
- useful:

- ------------
- I noticed in your change-log you noted that some people were
- still unable to use print manager under NT. If this is the same problem
- that I encountered, it's caused by the length of time it takes NT to
- determine if the printer is ready.
-
- The problem occurs when you double-click on a printer to connect it to
- the NT machine. Because it's unable to determine if the printer is ready
- in the short span of time it has, it assumes it isn't and gives some
- strange error about not having enough resources (I forget what the error
- is). A solution to this that seems to work fine for us is to click
- once on the printer, look at the bottom of the window and wait until
- it says it's ready, then clilck on "OK".
-
- By the way, this problem probably occurs in our group because the
- Samba server doesn't actually have the printers - it queues them to
- remote printers either on other machines or using their own network
- cards. Because of this "middle layer", it takes an extra amount of
- time for the NT machine to get verification that the printer queue
- actually exists.
-
- I hope this helped in some way...
