[Samba] XP SP2 and Samba 3.0.7 - Printing very slow

[Walter Willmertinger]

As mentioned in some other threads, printing is very slow with 
samba-printers after applying XSP2 to XP.
What is especially slow is the point, when you press ctrl-p after 
working with some document in e.g. MS Word.
It takes about 20 seconds on a fast 3 GHZ computer, before you see the 
printer dialogue.

After setting log level to 10, I noticed some error message in the log 
file, as
  error packet at smbd/ipc.c(99) cmd=37 (SMBtrans) STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
this message repeats 22 times for one pressing of ctrl-p

If someone is interested, here is a small part of the debug log:

  send_trans_reply: buffer 1024 too

Maybe this helps someone, as it is very boring to wait for 
printing!
