[Samba] Please Help. Samba as PDC and printing

[Larry Engleman]

I don't know if this is the accepted practice, but the way I "fixed" the 
problem with the PCL 5e drivers was

1) sit down and test
2) cry
3) install the PCL version of the drivers (notice the lack of the '5e')

PCL 6 also worked, albeit much slower, but PCL 5e dies every time.
