I have unsuccessfully been trying to find a solution for the following problem:
Since a couple of months I have been running a openldap / cups 1.1.17 / samba 2.2.8a server setup with which I am extremely happy. But lately after installing an existing HP 4050 laserjet printer in cups and samba (with cupsaddsmb and the cups windows drivers), pdf documents will not print on this printer. Everything else (txt, doc, images, etc) prints correctly. From linux or mac osx workstation using cups directly these pdf's can be printed without any problem. The strange thing is also that nor the samba log file nor the cups error log file show any errors and the cups access and page log files correctly show that the document should have been printed, but no paper came out nevertheless.
Because of the fact that pdf's come out successfully printing from mac and linux systems, I suspect that the problem lies on the samba side somewhere, but I can't figure out where exactly (mostly because of the missing log information). Tried out numerous posts on the net regarding this subject, but no solution until now. Has anybody seen this behaviour before and found a solution for it?
Here are the relevant pieces of configuration as well:
smb.conf:
---------
#
# The printers share: all printers in cups
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printer admin = administrator @admin[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /tmp
public = yes
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = Yes
browseable = No#
# Share for the WinXP printer drivers
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /home/samba/print_drivers
browsable = yes
guest ok = no
readonly = yes
write list = root @admincups page_log: -------------- waterman_hp4050 kerstens 311 [05/Feb/2004:09:33:14 -0800] 1 1

Let me know if any other information is needed.
Thanks
Andre
