[SOLVED] CUPS+Samba to a probably non-postscript printer

[x4base]

Hi, everyone.

I use Fedora 10 (64-bit) myself.
And I have installed

samba-3.2.11
cups-1:1.3.10-5
hplip-2.8.12-6
ghostscript-8.63-6

and I have copied the files: ps5ui.dll, pscript5.dll, pscript.hlp, pscript.ntf.
And installed cups-windows-6.0-1.i386.rpm from the cups website
(I am not sure whether it is right to use the i386 version)

I want to share my printer to a Windows XP (32-bit) box.And my printer is the HP PSC 2210 all-in-one printer.I am not sure if it is a postscript printer , but I guess it's not.

The driver of my printer was set up automatically by Fedora,and the printing works fine in the Fedora box.
But when I want to print some thing from the client,it came out a full page of scripts like:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%cupsJobTicket: job-hold-until=no-hold
%cupsJobTicket: job-sheets=n
%%Title: <AE4CA474A5D1A8BD2DB25CA5FAB07BB07B>
%%Creator: PScripts5.dll Version 5.2
.........

I guess it's postScript scripts.

But the printer works well in Fedora,
so I think the postscript interpreter exists.
How come it goes wrong through SAMBA?

Where should I modify my settings, or what document should I read?
Thanks alot.


The actual result of the printing goes like this :

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Title: <A5BCA952A657202D20B04FA8C6A5BB>

Does the message "Pscript_WinNT_ErrorHandler" imply that I'm using a wrong driver?

I solved it by myself ...........

It is caused by a default setting in the file /etc/samba/smb.conf

# Cups Options let you pass the cups libs custom options, setting it to raw
# for example will let you use drivers on your Windows clients

cups options = raw

This line exists by default in the config file.But after I comment out this line, the problem is solved.
that is, change this line to

; cups options = raw

Then samba will use the default value for this entry:

cups options = ""

, as shown in the manpage "man smb.conf"
