[Samba] Print server on Debian 13

Hello everyone,

We are having problems with Debian 13 and Samba and CUPS as a print server. 
The same configuration works fine with Ubuntu 24.04.

If the spool directory is set, for example to /var/tmp/, the files are created 
there when a print job is sent. However, these files have a size of 0 bytes. 
Accordingly, there is no print job on the CUPS side.

Has anyone else observed something similar or perhaps found a working setup 
with Debian 13?

Best,
Stefan
