Joel,
Thanks for the reply.
The job is sent preformatted. In the log it says file type raw (which is
what I want, just a spooler basically). The windows driver is the same one
I use for the netware spooler.
Below is the output from one the files through xxd. Looks OK as far as I
can tell but I don't really know much about it. This is using the d350
driver that I use running it through novell. I will try soemtime today to
set up and let samba format the printing and not try to print raw and see if
that helps.

I do not know a thing about cups.
I note you have a lot of defaults in your printing shares, so I don't know
exactly how to do this with your set up but:
This sounds like a driver problem.
Does the samba server filter the job or is the job transferred preformatted?
To trouble shoot this, look at the file that is transferred from the
client to samba. It should be somewhere in your samba spool directory. How
is it formatted? Can you read it with anything like gv or xxd?
I would try different drivers, including a postscript generic driver,
and see if the file is transferred with all characters intact. If you
have a driver on your samba server that can send ghostscript files to
your printer, then use the IBM Laserjet III plus driver on your windows
client to send jobs to the server, and then let the server filter those
jobs before sending them to the printer.
