As mentioned in some other threads, printing is very slow with samba-printers after applying XSP2 to XP.
What is especially slow is the point, when you press ctrl-p after working with some document in e.g. MS Word.
It takes about 20 seconds on a fast 3 GHZ computer, before you see the printer dialogue.


After setting log level to 10, I noticed some error message in the log file, as
error packet at smbd/ipc.c(99) cmd=37 (SMBtrans) STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
this message repeats 22 times for one pressing of ctrl-p


If someone is interested, here is a small part of the debug log:

Maybe this helps someone, as it is very boring to wait for printing!
