[Samba] Samba 2.2.3a, print queue status "opening," highserver load

[Jay D. Anderson]

Yes, printing from IE does work, it is just *very* slow, both to select the
printer, and for the print window to go away after clicking "Print."  Also, on
a very high power machine we use as a terminal server, printing from Word does
eventually work, it is just very very slow.

Again, I would be happy to provide higher debug level logs to anyone that would
like to see what Samba is doing when this printing is taking forever or
"hanging" the application.
