Using Xp Pro Printer as a SAMBA Shared printer

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

At home I have XPPro, Win2K, and RH9 configured to share files and a HP PSC
1350 printer on the XPPro PC. Printing locally from XPPro is OK, printing
from Win2K is OK, but printing from the RH9 creates a document "remote
downlevel document" that hangs the XPPro print queue. The only way to clear
the document from the print queue is to turn off printer and reboot XPPro
PC.

The recommendations forr the RH9 is to use CUPS raw mode. The properties of
the document in the XPPro print queue reports type "raw" and program
winprint.

I have been at this for weeks. I have read and re-read KBs, CUPS, SAMBA, and
HPLIP documentation, installed/uninstalled software/hardware and tried
about everything but nothing changes.

If someone knows why documents spool successfully from RH9 to XPPro, then
the printer appears to start print (I can heard print heads move and paper
access) and suddenly goes into "maintenance mode" (HP user guide - when
"on" light is blinking).

Please point me into the right direction!

Thanks,
