solaris 7 with samba 2.0.7
I already have several network printers on the box which work fine (although
I didn't set them up)
I used the following commands to configure the printer under solaris
lpadmin -p NAME_OF_PRINTER -o protocol=bsd,dest=IP_ADDR -v /dev/null -m
netstandard -T PS _I postscript
enable NAME_OF_PRINTER
accept NAME_OF_PRINTER
if I print using lp it works fine however I installed the postscript printer
drivers for the machine on a win98 box and printed through samba, the output
consisted of the postscript source in ascii. The only entry in the smb.conf
mentioning printing is
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
Thanks for any ideas

p.s. the printer is a danka 4220 MF but I presume this isn't the cause.
