[Samba] Print to JetDirect

[M at samba.org]

i´ve got the same problem with the 500x...

my solution uses the "nc" (netcat) tool to send the raw data to port 9102 (lpt2) of
the printerserver.

check out the attached printcap, relevant smb.conf & the shellscript which calls nc

you have to modify it to suit your needs (port of printserver, ip-addresses ..)

have fun
