[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#597997: cups ignores settings such as InputSlot when printing through samba

[SZABO Zsolt]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1+lenny8
Severity: important

After upgrading to lenny the printer queues affecting the printer parameter
such as InputSlot, Toner Density desregard these settings when printing
from windows (especially XP) through samba. The situation is independent
either from the printer driver (CUPS6 or that of the printer) or the setup
method of the driver (downloaded through samba or locally).
The settings for duplex printing do not work either, though the setting the
number of pages to print on a sheet does.

The workaround to use pstops from etch, like
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops.etch, seems to help on this problem after 
the /etc/cups/mime.convs contains the modified line, as well:
application/postscript  application/vnd.cups-postscript 66 pstops.etch
