samba - Jul 2003 - Using print$ / timeouts to port 445...

Hi...
 
  I have set up my smb.conf to use the print$ directive, and have shared
3 printers.  I sucesfully added the printer drivers to the host, and can
use them.  But - opening up the printer connection from the windows host
is slow, and causes the printer 'status' window to say
'initializing'.

  While that happens, my samba.log shows :

2003/07/29 16:44:40, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327)
  Allowed connection from  (myipaddress)
[2003/07/29 16:45:02, 1] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_out(860)
  timeout connecting to (myipaddress):445
[2003/07/29 16:45:22, 1] libsmb/cliconnect.c:cli_connect(782)
  Error connecting to (myipaddress) (Operation already in progress)
[2003/07/29 16:45:22, 0]
rpc_client/cli_spoolss_notify.c:spoolss_connect_to_client(91)
  connect_to_client: unable to connect to SMB server on machine MACHINE-NAME.
Error was : SUCCESS - 0.
[2003/07/29 16:45:22, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327)
  Allowed connection from  (myipaddress)

  I see that port 445 is MICROSOFT-DS, but am wondering how/why I can change 
this?  

  I know I can set disable spoolss = yes in smb.conf, but that obviously
breaks the auto driver download.  Breaking the auto driver download doesn't
allow a normal domain user to add a printer, as they get ' not sufficient
access
to local machine to add printer '.

  Thanks for any help you can shed on this...

Don't they teach there to give versions, OS, config and other system
details, when asking for help in a newsgroup?                        ;-)
