samba printing

[Murray Taylor]

Hmm - I use 
...
   printing = lprng

and my standard lp setup that all unix programs use

on the windows box is can see \\unixhost\lp as an available printer
so I just added it using the wizard on winblows...
To avoid windows sending printer binary codes I chose a printer
type of Postscript.

It Just Works (tm)

I suspect that lpr would work also - I think the real trick
is to sidestep the windows print-ripping actions and let 

The Printer Print (tm)

BTW I ma using a HP 5MP on a parallel port of the FBSD boxen.
The 5MP has the postscript engine inboard.
