[OpenAFS] OpenAFS client 1.7.201 and later triggers printing of smiley faces on all printers shared via Samba

[Michael Richter]

It seemed that this page was send two times to every printer on our=20
printserver - to printers which are not installed on my desktop too.
Actually the printers has nothing to do with OpenAFS - I thought.
