That sounds legit to me but I think I can not help you :)
OK, if the context menu is the problem, I could kick it out. I'll check what I can do with the MSI installer. Or I create a startup script which removes the reg keys.

Michael: The problem is triggered by the AFS Context Menu handler. When testing whether or not a path is an AFS path, the AFS Context Menu handler issues an AFS pioctl operation on the path. The pioctl process is: * Request that an "existing" file be opened on the device \\server\device-name\_._AFS_IOCTL_._ * Write the request to that file * Read the response from that file * Close the file The pages are being printed because the printer device is permitting the _._AFS_IOCTL_._ to be opened and treating the data that is written to it as a print job. The SMB server in the printers should not be opening a file that does not exist when the caller is explicitly asking that only an existing file be opened. The SMB server in the printer could be a version of Samba or some other home grown implementation. Regardless, it is buggy. Of course, knowing the cause does not solve your problem which is that you want the paper to stop being wasted. The question is "who is going to research a solution and implement it?" I suspect you want that to be me. :-) That is fine but I'm at the point where I want to be paid for my efforts.

I updated all of our computers to 1.7.08 and now we have large paper wastage :) This is not a samba problem. We use mainly OpenAFS 1.7.08 32bit on Windows XP Prof SP3 (german). Our printers (different Kyocera, HP and Konica Minolta models) are all connected via two Windows Server 2003 print servers. Sometimes the printers do not print the smilies. Then there are two print jobs in chain (screenshot attached). These jobs also occur on printers which are not connected to the owners computer... very strange. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Michael Richter
