Ok, it looks like this was the cause of the delay. As soon as I

same cause of their delays.
Could someone please shed some light what samba uses this connection for?
This is the insane Windows print spooler design, where the server
connects back to the client to do change notify.
Samba tries to do the same - look at spoolss_connect_to_client()
in rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c - maybe we should have an option
to disable this.
Thanks Jeremy! Found this link that describes it in more detail:

We have alot of these clients that we don't control. Bring your own
laptop, where firewall is enabled by default, is prevalent here at the
college. I think disabling this server-side is more palatable than
fixing every client. I'm just concerned what functionality we'll lose
in regards to point and print and printing in general. Thoughts?
