Tim, Just for the record: I don't have any "printing = xxx" in my samba.conf file. There is a printing = bsd line but it's commented out and the block comment above it states that this line should not be necessary unless using a non-standard printing system. Brion P.S. I've got the Mac printing through the Samba share as opposed to using LPD or AppleTalk or IPP directly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Waugh" <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> To people seeing this problem (needing to define a raw print queue for Windows printing to a Linux-hosted queue to work), do you have 'printing = cups' in /etc/samba/smb.conf? Does putting it there help? I'm starting to wonder if samba is missing a 'cupsAddOption("raw",[...])'. Raw printing should work with this (equivalent to 'lpr -oraw ...') even with octet-stream commented out in mime.convs. This is how gimp-print manages to print raw data to a non-raw queue for instance. Tim. */
