[Samba] Printer problem

[Joel Hammer]

You have to supply more information.

You may be sending the job to the wrong print queue on the samba server.

The linux queue which is successful probably takes a postscript job
from linux and converts it to a language understood by the printer. You
maybe are sending a job already filtered for your printer, that is,
a nonpostscript job,  from the windows box to this same queue.

As a quick test, install a printer on the windows box using the HP
Laserjet III + driver, which all windows seem to have, using the same
printer as you currently are using. If you get output, that's your
problem.

If not, you could post a reply with your /etc/printcap and smb.conf files.
Also, note which queue you are using from your widows box.
