    In case anyone comes across this and is interested. Set the fileserver to
    us raw data for the driver on the samba port instead of the printer driver.
    The on the client machines set them to use the file server's samba share for
    the printer and use the correct driver for the printer. At least it worked
    for me with a lazerjet 4050 on the windows box.

    Subject: samba printserver

    I have a windows printer set up on the network. I have a seperate smb
    fileserver on the network. I set up a que on the file server for the remote
    printer and can send test pages ok. I want to share that printer to other
    windows/linux boxes from samba on the file server so that if something
    happens to the windows box I can just make one change on the file server and
    all boxes on the network will print to a new location. IE I take the
    printer off the dead windows box and put it on another one giving the file
    server new que information to look at the new windows box. If I set a linux
    box up to use the samba share right now, I get the raw postscript data out
    of the printer.

    Should the file server look at the windows box as an lpr and the remote
    client look at the file server as a postscript printer?

    TIA

    Larry
