This bug is open since 8 years: :-/
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6559


What Samba version do you use? 4.6 contains several printer enhancements 
that maybe fix the problem. If you still run <4.6, please update to 
4.6.3, retry, and update the bug report:
* If it works, add this info to the bug report.
* If it fails:
   - upload a new level 10 debug log file
   - add your use case and latest information to the bug

If you run 4.6 and require uploading 32-bit drivers, additionally apply 
the patch from:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12761
This will be fixed in 4.6.4.
