samba - Aug 2011 - Samba Printing api_rpcTNP: \spoolss: SPOOLSS_OPENPRINTEREX failed

Hello,

after upgrading to samba 3.5.6 of Debian Squeeze some printouts will not
printed. The same prinjob will printed after a couple of tries. I increased the
loglevel and there are only a few messages which showing whtat could be the
problem. The printjobs doesn't arrive at cups.

The printer is a Konica Minolta bizhup 40P, which is installed on client with
Point and Print and the newest ppd files from Konica Minolta.

What could be the problem?

Thank you
Claus

I guess you need to set

unix charset = utf8

had a similar issue last week, which was fixed that way.

After connecting the same printers directly to cups using the same
drivers the printouts are available without any problems. So probably
some conversion inside of samba will cancel the printjobs.
