<span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">I have a Linux machine that I just upgraded to Debian Sid from Linux Mint. Everything seems to be fine except I'm having an issue with CUPS. I have samba set up on this machine and can print from our windows laptop. I'm printing to a Brother MFC-7440N printer. The problem I'm having right now is that I can seem to print anything from windows (word documents, web pages, text files, etc.) EXCEPT for PDF files. I've tried under Foxit reader and Adobe PDF. I'm at my wits end here, I've searched a bunch but not sure why these files are being treated differently.</span><br style="font-family:courier new,monospace">
