[Samba] 64 KB gets "spooled" from windows?

[Sohail Somani]

OK the problem seems to have been fixed.

I believe I did not restart the samba daemon. Forgive my noobielikeness.
Heres the hand configured file if anyone needs it:

[LEXE210]
	path = /var/spool/samba
	writable = no
	guest ok = yes
	public = yes
	printable = yes
	printer name = 	Lexmark E210 DOWNSTAIRS -- Beside the jacuzzi under the
waterfall
	use client driver = yes
	print command lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r 
	lpq command = lpstat -o %p
	lprm command = cancel %p-%j

btw, i just added that jacuzzi stuff, the waterfall doesnt leave enough
room for it :(
