    Samba show printer after long time , make faster discovery from windows

    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
