samba - Apr 2007 - Samba & CUPS: only banner-page gets printed

In my setup I'm running Samba 3.0.23d-19.2 and CUPS  1.2.7-12.1. 
Printing from a windows-client works fine, until I instruct CUPS to add 
a banner-page. The banner-page then is the only thing that gets printed. 
Doing the same from Linux everything works fine. I get my job including 
a banner-page.

The Windows-printjob is passed raw from Samba to CUPS...

Anyone has an idea?

Best,

Johannes

This doesn't sound like a Samba problem. It's more likely CUPS related.

Which printer are you using, what distribution, which CUPS driver, etc.. 
Sounds like the printer is getting confused when you print a banner with 
a RAW printjob.

Print directly to CUPS via IPP instead of putting Samba in the middle (at 
least to assist in troubleshooting).

We want to use Samba/Cups because you can connect to the public printers without
installing drivers at the clients. So we can use scripts to connect the printers
(net use...)
Also we maybe have a problem. Our company has a special font. We know there are
problems printing on PCL6-Drivers and we know it works with pcl5.

oops, wrong post. Please forget my answer to this threat...

I didn't send my response to the samba-list by mistake. I've tried to 
print directly to CUPS with IPP but this fails too. So it's gonna be a 
CUPS problem.

When I try to print directly to IPP from W2K/XP I always get the 
following message in my error_log:

Missing printer-uri or job-uri attribute!
