[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#500732: CUPS overrides settings when printing from Windows

[Heide, Michael]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.10-2
Followup-For: Bug #500732

Hi, I hope it is ok to answer via email and not via reportbug.
The corresponding machine neither has email nor internet access.

I think somehow I have the same problem, but I'm not shure. 
While local printing works like a charm, network printing from windows
(via samba) works only partly. Printing itself is fine, but the duplex mode
is ignored. (duplex in Linux is fine)

If I enable duplex in cups, all windows prints get duplexed, regardless of
the settings in the Windows printing dialogue.

Maybe mine is a different problem because none of the workarounds here 
work for me.
1. /etc/cups/mime.convs gets totally ignored. 
   I can put garbage in it and nothing changes.
2. adding "cups options = raw" to smb.conf -> ditto
3. pstops didn't get called. If I interpret correctly my "loglevel debug" log,
   the following filterlist gets called, regardless of any mime.convs entries:
   pstopdf->pdftopdf->foomatic-rip->backend.

$ grep -i -e duplex cups-logleveldebug/error_log 
D [24/Jul/2009:12:30:51 +0200] [Job 372440] Added option Duplex

I wonder: "-dDuplex=false" ?

I've installed an ubuntu 9.04 machine and configured only this one printer.
Didn't work either. Even installing the latest hplip manually to some 
Debian 4.0 machine results in the same Problem. Printing duplex from cups
is fine. Windows via samba->cups is broken.

I cannot attach files here to the list, right?
If someone is interested, I have a full log from samba+cups(debug) available.
