Win2K printing Problems with Samba

It sounds to me as though your printcap file is causing Linux to perform too
much processing of the print data. It should just pass the postscript on to
the printer, as I understand it.

Here is one of my printcap entries:

lp3|lw630|Laser:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lw630:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :pl#63:pw#85:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:sf:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :pd=/var/spool/lpd/lw630.ppd:\
        :of=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ofpap:\
        :if=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ofpap:

Hi everyone !
i have some trouble printing  from Win2K to Samba Server :
My configuration
Server Samba :
Mandrake Linux 7.2

Configured Printer on Parallel Port Kyocera FS 3750 with CUPS

Client :  Win2K PRO

When I send a request of print , my printer prints three pages :
the first have a line like this: "%%[ProductName  : GNU postscript] %%"
le second is the good request ( for example the test print page)
the last page is one line  :"%%[lastpage]%%"
