problem with network print server
hey,

We have a (5years old) red hat linux print server that was working perfectly when it was part of a workgroup. (all other pcs are windows xp)

The network has changed and now the clients (including the print server) are part of a domain. (the DNS is windows server 2003)

Now it takes 10 - 15 minutes for our server to receive a print request :S

Can anybody tell me what's going on? what are the steps needed to troubleshoot this problem?

i have very little knowledge of unix administration

any help is appreciated,
thanks all

It sounds like you'll need to look at the samba setup on the printer server.

I suggest you read up on samba and see how to get it on the same domain.

Also have a look at how DNS names are being resolved on the print server.

Windows boxes happily use their own dynamic naming system.
