Solution found. This problem is apparently widespread over a slew of
different printers. They always work fine from other MS operating
systems, they always crawl from Vista. Let's start with a generalized
"Vista sucks" just for good measure, then move on to the solution:

0. Remove the problem printer
1. add a new printer
2. add a local printer
3. chose 'new port'
4. chose 'localport'
5. type path to the networkprinter e.g. : \\server\printerName
