Samba Printer prints gibberish

I'm having trouble getting my Laserjet 1100 (using the ljet4 driver) to
print a test page from Windows 95. Printing from Linux is normal. I am
using standard lpr, not lprng or cups. I am using Samba 2.0.7.

I got Windows to see the printer through the network, but it prints
gibberish. Actually it doesn't print straight gibberish but the bytes
sent to the printer as ascii characters. I can recognize the text mixed
among the other characters.

[printers]
printing = BSD
; print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s
print command = /usr/bin/lpr
printcap name = /etc/printcap
guest ok = yes
browseable = no
printable = true
public = yes
read only = yes
create mode = 0700



Does anyone know a resource for me to fix this? I have the O'Reilly
book but it has been less than helpful.
