same problem here. This a known but _unresolved_ problem for Samba 3.0.7 and
2.2.12 - you can read about in the mailing list archive (read the complete
threads):

XP sp2 seems to be forcing the issue. We'll have to code
a way to turn off the change notify functionality somehow.

It would be very nice, if the actual Samba versions 2.2.12/3.0.7 were not so
painfully slow in printing with XP SP2 or XP SP1 with active XP-firewall.
It's a real pain in the ass in production environments :(
Kindly regards
