[Samba] Printing from Windows is printing PS commands instead of
job!

I've about run out of ideas and need some help.
I have an HP OfficeJet 7110 installed on my Fedora Core 3 box. From
Linux, it prints perfectly, the Test Page works, I can print from
Mozilla/Thunderbird/Firefox, KDE applications, and even Emacs, all
without any issues whatsoever.
The problem is I can't seem to get it to work when I share the printer
to Windows. I've shared it to both a Windows 2000 and Windows XP box
with the same results:
Everything I send to the printer from Windows is printed as PS commands
instead of the actual output.
Yes, I'm using the Adobe PS drivers, but the Postscript Imager driver in
Windows XP does the same thing.
I have debugging turned on in CUPS and I believe the problem whilttles
down to this line:
D [15/Jan/2005:18:06:01 -0600] StartJob:
envp[9]="CONTENT_TYPE=application/vnd.cups-raw"
So, CUPS is thinking this is raw output - no wonder it's not filtering
it appropriately.
What I can't seem to figure out is, why? Why isn't CUPS seeing the job
as a PS job? I've looked at the file itself and it seems to look okay:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Title: README - Notepad
%%Creator: PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2
And according to my mime.types, it should be recognizing that as a PS job:
application/postscript ai eps ps string(0,%!) string(0,<04>%!) \
contains(0,128,<1B>%-12345X) + \
(contains(0,1024,"LANGUAGE=POSTSCRIPT") \
contains(0,1024,"LANGUAGE = Postscript") \
contains(0,1024,"LANGUAGE = PostScript") \
contains(0,1024,"LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT"))
What in blazes is the problem? If you need more info, just ask - I'll
send you anything you think will help.
For starters, here's my CUPS configuration files:
