Would be nice to provide a means of disabling print change notify altogether.
I'm curious why you think so. Performance reasons?
*** Bug 1355 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
If this is a duplicate of #1355, it should be treated as a bug and not as a enhancement or feature request. I'd be severely tempted to mark it as major, since it prevents any printer driver installation. (Unfortunately I can't change the Severity here, since I'm not submitter of #114. :-( )
Andreas, just an update. print change notify will not affect point-n-print except wrt to asynchronous notification of change events for printer or job attributes. This bug will not prevent driver installation. You bug report in 1355 shows the XP client disconnecting. Have you tried reproducing the bug report with teh XP firewall off ?
jerry, we have not tried without xp firewall yet. we will set up a test server sometime soon, then I'll report the results. (The actual installation in question is now slumbering on unused partitions of our department server, we did not complete the migration.) thanks a lot, andreas ps. sorry for the long reply time - holiday season 8-) ...
maybe someday depending on XP SP2 test mostly....
