Hello,

I'm trying to get a win2k pro system to print to my testing/unstable
system. Printing works great on the Linux box, but printing from the
win2k box results in nothing happinging. I'm using the native win2k
print driver for the printer (which I would like to get working). This=20
is in the CUPS error log: E [03/Oct/2001:10:28:58 -0800] print_job:=20
Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'!

I tried adding this line to my PPD:
*cupsFilter: "application/octet-stream 100 rastertoprinter"

But it still gives the same error... Can someone explain how to get this
to work correctly?

TIA!
Ron

I didn't have to do that. Instead, I have the following my smb.conf file:
[global]
; The following three lines will allow the available
; printers to be slurped from lpstat.

printing = CUPS
printcap name = lpstat
load printers = yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /tmp
browseable = no
public = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700

; The raw option allows printing from Windows using the
; driver provided by Epson.
; The gs-stp package and a cups-o-matic driver
; for the Epson Stylus 740 are used for local printing.

print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P %p -o raw %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpstat -o %p
lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %p-%j
available = yes
