Gustavo Courault <courault at gigared.com> has solved this for me with
the following advice and I have enclosed my smb.conf file in case it
may help anyone, I'm running Samba-2.2.2 and CUPS printing to a
Epson-777 injet via a Edimax $40 printserver attached to the back of
the printer with a static IP address assigned to the printer.
My OS is RedHat-6.2

I uncomment the line in the /etc/cups/mime.types file:
application/octet-stream
and in the /etc/cups/mime.convs file:
*/* application/vnd.cups-raw
