Printing to a samba print share from a client that is firewalled/
masqueraded is painfully slow. Seems the protocol requires the samba
server to make an initiating connection back to the SMB server on the
client which will of course fail on a firewalled/masqueraded client.
The problem is that the a print job hangs till this operation times out
causing printing to take several minutes for users. Is there anyway to
decrease this timeout in samba? I have seen suggestions to use 'disable
spoolss' but this would cause more problems since that also disables
downloading of print drivers.
