Which version of Samba?

Which version of CUPS?

Which print-related settings in Samba?
   (Run 'testparm -sv | grep -E "lp|cups|print|spool|driver"')

Which setup for the target printer in printers.conf ?

Does it help to insert the line "Option job-hold-until indefinite"
to your printers.conf section for the printer? Like this:

<Printer your_name>
  ...
  Option job-hold-until indefinite
</Printer>
