Hi Matt,
Have you tried the debugging methods given in Printing.txt? In smb.conf,
try changing the print command line to:
print command = cp %s /var/tmp/print.txt
Restart Samba and then try printing from the Windows client. This will
should create the file 'print.txt' in the /var/tmp directory. If this
works, then Samba probably isn't causing the problem. Within Linux, try
printing the file 'print.txt' with:
lpr -b -Pbjc-610 /var/tmp/print.txt
(change the -P argument if your printer isn't called 'bjc-610). If this
fails to print then the problem is with your lpr setup (not Samba).
What is your definition for the BJC-610 within smb.conf? If you post this
and your /etc/printcap file, then I may be able to suggest modifications
that *should* allow it to function as a RAW printer (using the Windows
driver.)
Please note that I'm no expert -- I've just got my Epson Stylus Photo 700
running by using the same methods.
