[Samba] Page printing problem

Is this the HP laserjet 4Plus? It works perfectly according to the linux
printing page:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=75104

Maybe you are sending the output to the wrong queue. If you install the HP
drivers on the windows box, you might try sending the output to a raw queue
on the samba server. I suspect trying to send them to the same queue as your
linux clients may be the problem.

BTW, I have solved all my printer problems by just setting up a working
queue on the linux server, which takes postscript files, and then sending
everything to the samba server queue in postscript format. HP laserjet III
plus works fine for my windows clients.

Alternatively, there may be configuration parameters you can set on the
windows driver side which might solve the problem.
