Printing problem: printing control characters

[Miles Purdy]

Hi folks:

AIX Samba server: 4.3.3
Samba v: 2.2.1a
Windows NT sp6a
printer: various HP: 4500, 8150

I have set up the print queues the long way, by copying all the .dll's to unix, etc. All the config's look work, in fact I can print, but it print the 'control characters'. I actually see the: '@PJL .......' which I believe is the PCL control code. I could really use some help.

Thanks Miles
