some of the users of the package with the internal samba version 2.2.11 
(which prevent the crash if the xp client sends a 
find_next_print_change_notify request without ever sending a find_first 
- the same patch as in 3.0.6) also having the problem with slow printing 
with WinXP SP2. This is related to the messages

Printer dialogs come up very slow. In the log messages you can see, that 
there is an delay of 25(!) seconds, before the printing dialog appears!
I hope it is possible to _not_ permanently connecting the client from 
samba or decreasing the timeout for this try...

If you speak german, here is the thread:

Im interested in your experiences with 3.0.6.
