The problem was actually a different thing.

In smb.conf I had a printing command parameter, which said to run lpr with
some command line options.
One of these options was -l, which is the same as -oraw. So samba was
sending everythinf to CUPS as RAW, even though I was using a postscript
driver on my Windows client machine.

As soon as I deleted this -l option, everything works fine.

I don't know, where this -l come from. Probably it was in my smb.conf for
a very long time :-) .

Anyway, thanks for your interest, and for your previous replies and
tips You gave to other people. It was quite helpful.
