hi i have some trouble with samba and cups.

i have a printerserver (debian), cups prints in raw mode.

if i print something in winxp i get a paper with the letters b    d    b
followed by the pages i wanted to print. after that i get an empty page too.

is there anybody who can help me?

greetings jens

extract of smb.conf:

# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
   load printers = yes

# You may wish to override the location of the printcap file
   printcap name = /etc/printcap

# 'printing = cups' works nicely
   printing = cups

   guest account = nobody
#   invalid users = root
