With initial testing here, based on my previous 99.99% ability to produce the "File/Print wait wait wait" problem... it appears to no longer exist in 3.0.8! However, before I will "confirm" that for sure, I need to get a HP JetDirect attached printer and try that as well. For now I am configuring CUPS to LPT1 on the test server. Pending further testing (per above) and a successful upgrade of our production Linux / Samba servers to probably 3.0.9 due to the XCopy bug, I would like to treat the Samba team to some pizza. Stay tuned... ;-) -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.
