Jeff,
I'm so sorry this took so long. A lot has been happening for me, and
it has just been crazy. I have tested this, though it is not a true
apples-apples comparison, since there was an update to cups in lenny.
I tested this with an HP Laserjet 2015, and it works as expected.
Though so many variables changed, I don't know what it is attributable
to. For example, I'm not using either of the two printers that
brought up this whole issue for me, and the afore mentioned cups
updates.
Anyway, I appreciate your efforts on this matter. I guess we should
call this one closed.
Thanks,
-Chris

As it turns out, I find myself serving a printer from squeeze, and with
a Window 7 VM I haven't set up printing for. I'll try to get some time
to try setting up printing.
And I've now done this successfully, with no issues. If you're
still having problems, we're going to need to get more details on
how you add your printer and why it's not working.
Here's the procedure I used. Server: Debian squeeze i386, cups
1.4.4-7. Client: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit running under KVM on
Ubuntu 11.10. The printer otherwise works on a mixed Debian/Ubuntu
network, with all clients able to autodiscover the printer.
- On the server, use w3m to navigate to localhost:631.
- Choose "Add Printer/Class". On the next screen, pick the local
printer, and select "Continue". Proceed through the options and set
as appropriate until you get to where it asks for the printer make
and model.
- For the make, select "Raw". The model should get set up
automatically to "Raw queue".
- Finish up with the new printer wizard. Don't print a test page
(since it would obviously not work right).
- On the client, click the Windows logo, then "Control Panel".
- Select "Devices", then "Add printer".
- Select "Network printer".
- Interrupt the printer search, and tell Windows your option isn't listed.
- For the printer location, give it the URL for the printer. This
will look something like... http://server:631/printers/myprinter-raw
- Windows tries to connect to the printer, and eventually asks you
for the make and model of the printer. Select the appropriate ones.
- Print a test page.
Hope that helps.
