Blank Page printing with Samba 3.0

I have Samba 3.0 configured to use cups 1.1.19 as a backend for
printing. Samba is acting as an AD member server and only as a print
server to its clients. I have over 100 printers configured on this
system and for some reason a blank page is printed after every print
job. I have tried this with several PPD files from both
linuxprinting.org as well as from the manufacturer and the same is
happening. This doesn't happen when I print directly through cups
bypassing samba. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping
to replace our current MS printing infrastructure with Samba/CUPS
shortly and this seems to be the last hurdle to getting everything
working perfectly.
