slow network printer properties after XP sp2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

enable the File and Print sharing exception on the XP firewall. The system
goes into polling mode because the Server machine cannot contact the spooler
on the XP client. I suggest a reboot after enabling this setting just make
sure the redirector, explorer and spooler are in sync.
