Well, I have the same problem. I have a postscript printer (OKI C5400) configured in CUPS with the original PPD. And I've used cupsaddsmb to setup the CUPS Windows Driver in a samba server. Printing from a Linux client work fine. But when I'm printing throught samba all options are ignored (e.g. duplex).
Looking at the logs I can observe the following things:
- CUPS detect the document type as application/postscript.
- The document is filtered by pstops. It is invoked without IPP options because we are printing throught samba. All options are inside the postscript taken from the PPD.
- I think PSTOPS removes all options inside the postscript.
- The document is printed without the selected options.
Is this a bug o bad config?
Thanks
