Printing out of a DOS-Box from WIN311 to a Networkprinter

Printing out of a DOS-Box from WIN311 to a Networkprinter

On serveral PCs we work with a nearly 10 jears old DOS-Software 
(DLOG - NC-Programming). This Software only knows one printer 
(LPT1).
With “net use lpt:1 \\server\printer“ and “net use lpt1: 
/disable“ we can switch the printout between server and desktop 
printer.
When the DOS software has finnished printing unfortunately it 
lasts nearly 60 seconds until the printer connected to the 
server (Samba-1.9.17p? and Linux 2.0.30) starts printing.
Adding and changing the parameter  “PrintBufTime“ in section 
[NETWORK] of file “SYSTEM.INI“ has no effect.
Which screw is to turn either on client or on server side to 
shorten the time we must wait until the network printer starts?
