[Samba] Error Printing Using Samba

[John Frankish]

Although I can print locally on a linux machine running samba-3.4.5, cups-1.4.1, hplip-3.9.12 without errors, when any windows machines try to print to a printer connected to the Linux machine, the job prints, but gives the following error:

"/usr/local/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"

..and the job remains in the print queue on both the local and remote machines. This error occurs even when printing the same pdf file that prints without errors on the linux machine

Is this something to do with smb.conf? It used to work fine on the same setup with samba-3.4.1, cups-1.3.8 and hplip-3.9.8

Regards
John
