[Wylug-help] Samba, postscript appearing in log.smbd

I've got a strange problem with a PDF printer device on a samba 2.2.3a
server.

It works correctly with a test page sent from a WinXP client, or a small
document, but a large document crashes the print spooler on Window, and
the log.smbd file ends up full of postscript. Any ideas?
