Hi there,
I have set-up cups with samba integrate everything working fine , all the printers are sharing in the network ,
mac clients works fine, Bonjour protocol is very fast
im using ubuntu 12.04 64bit with samba 3.6.3-2ubuntu2.8 and cups 1.5.3-0ubuntu8
the only issue is for the any windows(xp/vista/7) clients, when I tried to search the printer from "panel control">"add a device" it will take 20-40 sec ,
Is there config to make more fast the print sharing ? Faster I mean when I search on windows machine it will come out in 1-5 sec .
I don't care about sharing file and the printer are just sharing in local in different vlans.
I have tried some optimization the config without any relevant result.
From the default config smb.conf :
I have change few things :
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
name resolve order = bcast host
that I'm not sure if this setting have need to be change :
disable netbios = No
and also I'm not running a wins server ,
do you think is better to run ? it will make faster the discovery device ?
update: yes if I install on windows, "bonjour print services for windows " ,
it's working like on mac the printer come out immediately, but I want zero config from the windows client .
thanks a lot
