Description of problem: The shipped smb.conf file should have these lines added: printing = cups cups options = raw Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.3-4 For rationale see: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg00932.html The thread starts here about here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg00369.html Briefly: jobs received from Windows have already been rasterized, and so need to be given to CUPS as application/octet-stream. However, this mime-type is rejected by default to avoid accidently printing an unrecognized mime-type. But SAMBA can set the 'raw' option to bypass this mechanism -- and it should.
