try replacing your printfilter with this:

#!/bin/bash          
awk '{print $0"\r"}' 
exit 0               

all this does is CR->CR/LF conversion. 
there's a line of sed code in the RH printfilters that does the same thing;
however, if there isn't a form feed at the end of the page (like a lot of
sloppy programs don't put), the filter will hang on that for some reason.

change it to the above line of awk; and see if that makes a difference.
worked for me, under RH 5.1/samba 1.9.18

thanks once more to Carl Patten and a few others I don't remember, who
helped me through it then! :)
