See here: http://quantumg.blogspot.com/2006/11/windows-printer-on-linux.html It said that this fix is in CVS, so I will dig in CVS/SVN. I should have a patch available for you to test tonight or tomorrow. Very very surpised to see that Ubuntu doesn't has this patch. BTW: I have added five new patches ready that came from Ubuntu, but these patches have nothing to do with your problem thought.
