[Samba] printing to a remote win98 printer

[Joel Hammer]

It sounds like your postscript file is being interpreted as a text file by
your print filter.
You should have no trouble sending files to this printer.
Try
smbclient //server/printer
print PostScriptFile


Try this site, look under bedtime reading, and check out filters, if you
want an introduction to writing your own print filter.
