[cups.general] headers prevent samba printing

[Alex Finch]

  I have just upgraded our server to cups 1.2.8. Today I discovered that people printing via samba are just getting header pages 
printed. If I turn off the header pages then they can print. What could be wrong? The files are sitting in the spool directory,and I 
can print them with lpr ok. Samba is version 3.0.9-1.3E.12. The configuration has worked fine for years under our old version of 
cups (.1.1.17) .

A typical entry in the samba configuration is


	[hp_printer]
         comment = Hewlett Packard 4250 Printer
         path = /var/spool/samba
         browseable = yes
         public = yes
         writable = no
         printable = yes
         printer admin = root
         cups options = raw
