I can, but in 3.3 and 3.2 the parsing of the
spoolss_RouterRefreshPrinterChangeNotify reply struct is broken so that
windows immediately shuts down the backchannel connection and we never
can send out change notifies. So this fix alone won't do it.

Hm, are you asking me to backport the spoolss fixes from master back
into 3-3/3-2 rpc_parse/parse_spools.c style ?? Please no :-)
