Bug Description
I have a small server with a printer (HP Officejet PRO K550) connected to it. I have shared this printer using samba with the rest of the network (Windows 7 pc's). I use the hpcups 3.12.2 driver.
The problem is that I can not print pdf files from the windows 7 pc. I can however print any other type of file (MS Word, png) from the windows pc. Also when I am on the server, I can print pdf files. When I look in the cups job list I can not see a job when I try to print a pdf file over the internet.
There are no entries in the samba log files (log.smbd & log.nmbd) or the cups log files (access_log & error_log) around the time I try to print a pdf from my windows pc.
