Strange. It works now. So my Windows XP printing goes directly to CUPS via IPP. I no longer need samba for printing. I simply deleted the printer queue, added it again with redhat-config-printer. Save and Apply. Change /etc/cups/mime.* entries to enable raw printing (uncomment application/octet-stream entries at the end). 'service cups restart'. Add printer in Windows XP with IPP (network printer with http://cupshost:631/printers/queue_name as URL). And that's it! I wouldn't have bothered trying this again if I hadn't replied to this thread. Thanks! Good luck, Ronny
