When I was fiddling around with samba printer sharing, I had tremendous
problems until I let the win-machines print through the 'raw' device created
with apsfilter. It sends through the spool file directly to the printer
without trying to interpret it. The output you give looks very much like some
sort of printer control language, so my guess would be that apsfilter
interprets it as ascii and escapes it to the printer. The raw device wouldn't
do that, if my guess is correct.
