[Samba] wrong colours when printing from Windows

[Jim Shanks]

I have a strange issue with Brother MFC-5440CN printer.

When I print from Linux/CUPS, it prints colours fine.
When I print from Windows, using Windows drivers (without Samba), it
also prints fine.

When I print from Windows through Samba/CUPS (drivers added using
cupsaddsmb...), it gives me wrong colours:


expected | result
--------------------
yellow   | blue
blue     | red
red      | green
green    | dark-blue


It only happens from certain applications, like OpenOffice, Firefox, or
Internet Explorer.
When I print from Adobe Acrobat Reader, it gives me correct colours
(documents which gave wrong colours in OpenOffice, print correct colours
when exported to PDF and printed with Adobe Acrobat Reader).

I have Samba 3.0.20 and CUPS 1.2.1, the clients are XP SP2.

We had problems setting printer options until we upgraded to cups 1.2.3. 
Not sure if that's your problem, but it's worth a try.
