This is probably due to client queries. NT/W2K tends to
enumerate all printers and their queue status on a server
when initially looking at printers.

This should only be done once on the Samba server, then
the print queues will be cached in the tdb, and only
updated periodically.

You can increase time this info is cached by changing the
"lpq cache time" parameter (defaults to 10 seconds).
