[cups.general] Installing Printers on windows xp clients

[Beda Szukics]

Hallo 

On our network we have a problem installing the printers on windows-xp 
clients (SP2). 

When we try to add them using the printer config wizard, everything works 
fine till after the installation of the printer-drivers. Then nothing goes 
on. 

We use the adress: http://<servername.tld>:631/printers/<Printername> 

In the cups-error-log I see: 

D [13/Oct/2006:16:37:38 +0200] AcceptClient: 5 from 172.29.114.153:631.

The last message is repeated more or less every two seconds untill we stop 
the print-spooler on the windows clients. 

On cups-access-log we see:
172.29.114.153 - - [13/Oct/2006:16:37:38 +0200] "POST /printers/Testdrucker

This too is repeated every two seconds. 

What's wrong here. 

We have cups v1.1.20 running on the server. No samba.
