[Samba] Upgrade to 2:4.16.2+dfsg-1nmu1~deb11.1 borks printing

Wed Aug 31 15:01:50 UTC 2022

Hai, 

Please reply to the list, that keeps the thread complete and it might help others. 

Ok. I know lexmark has high quality drivers in general, that’s one I don’t have here. 
The HP universal PCL6 Type 3 should also work without problems. 

Also, did you check if cups didn’t disable the printer, I had that few weeks ago out of the blue. 

For that you can use this. 
## RE-Enable all disabled printers, (* optional with excluded filters if set. )

for PRINTERS in $(lpstat -p|grep -iEv "idle "|awk '{print $2}')

do

    echo "(Re-)enabling printer: ${PRINTERS}"

    cupsenable "${PRINTERS}"

done

What are you printing? What works and what not.. 
test 1 Via the print server. 

print a pdf, don’t change anything, 

print a pdf, but in printer settings set, “print as picture” 
print a .doc(x).  
print a .txt 

test 2 directly from pc to printer. 

Repeast the above test

which one’s works and which not. 

Greetz, 

Louis

Most of the printers are Lexmark or HP.

If its a PDF what your printing, try, enable "print as picture" (at
Advanced button after you hit print). 
I seen this also but only with some PDF documents. 

That a print goes in queue bigger is normal, its allways blownup when
converted to print language.

whats the printer brand/model and which drivers do you use? 

Greetz.

printing

I just installed 2:4.16.4+dfsg-2~bpo11+1 on a test NAS and the same issue
occurred.

One additional thing I noticed is that when I print a test page, the print

queue

in Windows shows a ~5 MB document, and that document never prints.
When I downgrade to 2:4.13.13+dfsg-1~deb11u4 and print a test page it
initially goes into the queue as a ~5 MB document, then it refreshes and
shows the test page is 308 KB.

I'm not familiar with the inner-workings of Windows printing, so this is

wild

speculation...but maybe part of the print process is converting the print

job

into a specific format and that specific format is smaller, but in the

latest

version of Samba the print job submission never makes it that far.
