[Samba] Slow windows -> cups print (Facts discovered)

Hi there,

The ones I've installed on my windows machine are in:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=pdrv&platform=win

Printing works fine and I don't have the 15/20 seconds delay I get with the HP
drivers (installed on the windows machine with the smb printer on linux + cups).

My problem is in the fact that with that postscript driver from Adobe, I can't
print colors.

If you guys find the solution, I'd appreciate some help.

Bye,
