The CUPS log mentions that the cups-pdf backend crashed with error 11,
while the CUPS-PDF log says that it succesfully printed the file.
Contradicting. Could you try the following steps:

1. sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop
2. sudo rm -r /var/log/cups/*
3. Uncomment LogType in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf and change its value
to 7 then save the file.
4. sudo /etc/init.d/cups start
5. Print one sample document locally.

(re-enable the PDF backend if necessary, if CUPS disabled it in
response to an unexpected situation)

6. Print the exact same document over Samba.
7. sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop
8. e-mail /var/log/cups/cups-pdf_log and /var/log/cups/error_log to
643790 at bugs.debian.org again.

Thanks!
