You are not greeting but shouting about printing via Samba? I think you mix up what should be configured for CUPS and what should be configured for Samba.
I configure nothing for samba, as samba just passes the queue to cups. Anything connected to samba already has (windows) drivers and will deliver print streams to samba (and then to cups) which need no further processing. Any gratuitous processing by cups will only server to wast resources at best, and often (very often in my expirence) screw up an othewise properly prepared print stream. Similarly, and cups (ipp) submissions directly from a windows machine will (not via samba shares) be properly prepared, and needs no further processing. So now there are not only the samba shares to set up with the raw option but also the direct ipp shares (which are frequently from off-site and do not come thru samba). These latter ones must be tracked down individually. FAR easier to uncomment the mime types so that raw really means raw. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
