Some more information on the printer issue

Here is the error log if I choose a generic printer with PLC 5 filter

41:02 +0300] Adding start banner page "none" to job 1.

Oddly, it say destination printer don't exist. This don't make sense though
if one consider the nmap response below
nmap -O 192.168.1.39

Can someone see what else I should probe from these logs.
