[Samba] Clients keep one spoolss pipe open

Hello list!
The situation is as follows (Samba 3.0.x):
I have two printers installed on my XP client.
One on a Samba server on which I am the printer administrator
and one on a Samba server I'm not.
When I open the printers window, the client connects to both servers.
After closing the window, the connection to the
"non-administrator-server" remains open (=BAD), while the other is
closed after some seconds (and the smbd disappears (=GOOD) ).
The XP-client keeps a spoolss-pipe open, so the deadtime parameter has
no effect.
The problem is, that hundrets of users open their Word-documents in the
morning and the default-printer object connects to the server and all
this connections remain open although they are not used.
Has anyone an idea, how I might change this?
And perhaps an answere, what the reason is for the different behaviour
on a server with or without admin rights?
Greetings,
Martin
