Problems printing from XP's "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" application using CUPS driver

[Sean E. Millichamp]

I am using the CUPS Windows Driver (5.0rc3) on Windows to print via 
Samba to CUPS on a Linux server.

When printing JPEG images from Mozilla Firebird, MS Paint, or The GIMP 
for Windows I get successful outputs.  However, when I try to print any 
JPEG from the default Windows XP image viewer program "Windows Picture 
and Fax Viewer" it seems to generate a job, send it to the server, which 
sends it to the printer, which sits there and chugs on it for a while, 
and then it produces: a completely blank sheet of paper.

This seems to happen from every Windows XP box using the CUPS 5.0rc3 
Windows printer driver and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and also to at 
least two different printer types (with two different PPDs).  Any ideas 
on why this program isn't generating printable output and what I might 
be able to do to fix it?

BTW: When trying to print to a locally attached printer using a native 
printer driver it works just fine.  So it seems to be something specific 
to the CUPS Windows driver and that program.

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas...
