When I "print" from Windows, I get 8 messages with STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW, and 
when I put the cursor over my printer icon, I see the balloon message "access 
denyed, no connection possible". All of this takes up to 30 seconds. 

If I ignore the the warning that the printer is not accessible, I get another 
3 warnings of STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW, but then after about a minute, the 
output appears at the printer.

My smb.conf is as follows:
 
[global]
   workgroup = MALCOLM.NET
   kernel oplocks = no
   os level = 2
   time server = Yes
   unix extensions = Yes
   encrypt passwords = yes
   map to guest = Bad User
   printing = CUPS
   printcap name = CUPS
   socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
   wins support = No
   veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
   # character set = ISO8859-15
   log level = 3
   log file = /var/log/samba/%m
   interfaces = eth1 192.168.15.1/255.255.255.0
   server string = Samba Server
   add user script =
   domain logons = no
   local master = no
   preferred master = auto
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/tmp
   printable = yes
   create mask = 0600
   browseable = no
   guest ok = no
[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
   write list = @ntadmin root
   force group = ntadmin
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = no
   printable = no
