Understand there are two different ways to generate print jobs on Windows
clients.  Raw (client side rebdered) and EMF which is basically
encapsulated GDI calls (server side rendered).  When using EMF it is
possible that certain Windows print drivers do not pass the job through
the local Win32 print processor for that driver and hence generate
different output.  That is what I was referring to when I said RAW vs.
EMF printing.  Has nothing to do with cups.






cheers, jerry
