[Samba] Admin Printers and Faxes from Windows XP

[Will Wheatley]

hi all,

I have been stuffing around with thsi problem for a couple of weeks now,
without much success :)
I am sure i am missing something simple.

I have a Samba server setup as a member server in a 2000 domain. (samba
3.0.10)
Samba is printing through CUPS and the printing works fine.

when i click on "Printers and Faxes" froma windows xp machine, it takes
about 30-60 seconds to show the list and the samba logs show:

[2005/12/02 09:42:56, 0] rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c

>From what i understand the Samba machine trys to connect back to the spooler
service on my client machine but fails. (well times out)

If i do it from a windows 2000 server, it works fine, I can find people with
the same symptons, but no solutions :(
