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.
