I'm in a similar situation to the original poster. The Macs are spooling to a linux box where the files are distilled into high res PDF's. I believe this problem may be fixed in Mac OS 10.4.2, Does anyone have any idea when this will be fixed in the core version of CUPS.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
