Hi,

I'm facing a 'strange' problem with a CUPS/Samba install.

When I print a Word-document or PDF-document (from Windows XP) that
contains a couple of tables and images it gets 'mixed up' by CUPS.

CUPS prints the first three pages in portrait and then all the following
pages (approx. 10) in landscape.

Printing is done from Windows (XP & 2000) through Samba on CUPS. The
printer is a HP Laserjet 4050T. When I print the document on another
location (CUPS/Samba also from Windows or Windows-NT4 printspooler with
Windows NT4 Client both to a Laserjet 4000) there are no problems and
the document is printed as intended. I'm pretty sure there are no
'strange' formatting options in the document that makes the printer
switching from portrait to landscape.

I can't see any error messages in the logs of cups or samba that
indicate a problem (I'd be willing to send the complete
access/error-logs off-list).

These are the installed packages:
net-fs/samba-3.0.2a-r2
net-print/cups-1.1.20-r1
net-print/foomatic-db-engine-3.0.1
net-print/foomatic-filters-3.0.1
net-print/foomatic-db-20040302
net-print/foomatic-3.0.1
net-print/hpijs-1.5

Any help would be appreciated because I'm getting clueless. Oh yeah,
I've already tried to reinstall the printer-drivers on the
Windows-clients to rule out any problem there.

Greetings,

Koen

I've installed the HP Postscript Driver package on one of the Windows client and then uploaded the drivers to the printer$ share on the Samba server. Every client connecting now gets the new drivers and prints all the documents without any problem. I assume this had something to do with the default HP-printerdriver converting to a wrong 'postscript'-format
