Printing to Shared Printer

[Tom Lichti]

Hi all, I've got a weird (and probably easily solvable) problem:

I am running Samba 2.02 on Solaris 7 x86 compiled with gcc 2.8.1, 
with Win 98 and Win95 OSR2 clients. I have a shared printer, an 
HP Deskjet 540, connected to LPT1 on the Samba machine, 
shared as HP. I can setup the printer on Win 95, browse the 
network, and see the shared printer as HP on the Samba server. I 
can connect no problem, and print a file to it. The problem is that it 
prints the lp banner fine, but anything other than that is garbled 
text. I assume that instead of passing the data directly through to 
the printer, it is sending it as ASCII. 

What do I need to do to get it to print correctly? I think I have to 
setup an lpfilter, but I am unfamiliar with the process. Also, and I 
don't know if it matters, but I setup the printer originally through 
Admintool, and it prints fine from the local Solaris applications 
(Star Office, Netscape, etc) so I know that the actual port and 
cable are fine.

Thanks in advance for your help,
