  not exactly: I said that I didn't have anything to setup: just launching the
  application and wait for 10 seconds.
  I think that a so mature OS as Debian should provide the same
  facility.
  This also shows that the sharing is correctly setup on the server side.

  very useful! If the client was correctly setup, I sould not need to
  post for help...

   I thought I clearly described what happened:
      - I get a paper sheet whose content is what I sent to the printer, but:
      - on the client, the job remains in the queues, and the printer is
        marked as "stopped"
      - on the server, the printer queue grows indefinitely, and the printer
        spits page after page, until I cancel the job on the client, and all
        jobs on the server.

   I don't see an other way to describe more clearly what is happening.

   Ok. I'll see whether this can lead to some explanation

> Say what cups version is on the server.
  on the server: 1.7.5-9 (jessie, i386)
  on the client: 1.5.3-5+deb7u4 (wheezy, amd64)
