[Samba] High load while printing a Word document

Hello!

Sometimes I have problems printing a particular Word document on a 
Windows XP machine. The printing takes very long and the server load/CPU 
are very high.

I set the log level = 3 printdrivers:10 and got an 
STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW error (see logfile-extract below)

On the client side I use MS Office 2003 SP3 and Windows XP SP3.
The postscript-driver of Lexmark X464 is configured as point-and-click.
Samba 3.6.7 is configured as PDC on OpenSuSE 10.3.

I've attached the word document, log.smbd and smb.conf as zip-file.
Probably the eps-part of the the picture in the header of the 
word-document is the problem.

Is it possible to config/fix samba to avoid this problem ?

Thanks a lot.

Alex
