I was suspecting a patch or something on client's side to have changed so that it doesn't work any more.
Today, I could reload the image of the installation made in 2010 (not dist-upgraded). I'm absolutely sure that was working. The problem occurs also on that system.

My conclusion is that something changed on the printing server (or SMB auth server) which makes that new buggy behaviour on the client.
