How many print jobs do you have on this box ? Hmmm. As I recall,
a Win9x client with an open print monitor will just continually
scan the server - pounding it with requests. 

We redesigned this for 3.0.x (try 3.0.1pre3) but it won't fix
the problem that Win9x clients will continuously scan the print
server - this is a problem of the Win9x design, not of Samba.
The same thing happens to WinNT/2k/2k3.

Can you get people to close down the print monitors ?

Jeremy.
