8.6 Setting up a raw SAMBA printer.
-Note: this is not a guide on setting up SAMBA. It merely addresses creating a printer configuration that will allow the output of regular (i.e. not PostScript) Windows printer drivers to print through SAMBA.

-Regular Windows printer drivers can be used to print via SAMBA, but you must set up a raw printer entry in "/etc/printcap" to accomplish this. Also, a print command will need to be specified in "/etc/smb.conf" that forces binary printing.

-The best way to start is to use printtool under X to create a new entry specifically for this printer. All you really need for it to do is create the necessary directories and set the permissions correctly, so don't worry about setting up a filter for a specific printer. Filters are not going to be used at all for this entry.

-When this is done and saved, edit the section of the smb.conf file that applies to the printer. Make sure the name of the section (enclosed in brackets) matches the name of the raw printer you just set up, then go down a line or two and add this line:
