[Samba] Issue with Samba and Microsoft Word

[Kenneth Loafman]

Also, check to see if the printer you use is active/present.  I had the
same trouble on a laptop when the "current" printer was on a totally
different network (check out NetSwitcher).  Seems Word has to open the
printer and has a very long timeout period.
