+<description>
+<para>Windows print clients can update print queue status by expecting
+ the server to open a backchannel SMB connection to them. Due to
+ client firewall settings this can cause considerable timeouts
+ and will often fail, as there is no guarantee the client is even
+ running an SMB server. By setting this parameter to <constant>no</constant>
+ the Samba print server will not try to connect back to clients
+ and treat corresponding requests as if the connection back to
+ the client failed. The default setting of <constant>yes</constant>
+ causes smbd to attempt this connection.
