[Samba] XP to Samba printer access delay

[david rankin]

Sorry for the top post, but, in XP try:

(1) regedit, then
(2) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser (delete all printers of the 
form \\machine\printer)
(3) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModes2 (delete all printers of the form 
\\machine\printer)

try properties again.
