OH I know what that it but I can't remember where to fix it. The back of my
brain is corrupt.
Try Google for cups octet stream

Txs for the advice; I have followed it and now the win printer dialog
box shows "ready", however, no pages are spooling.

My error log shows the following

*************************************************************
print_job: Unsupport format 'application/octet-stream'
Hint: Do you have the raw file printing rules enabled?
*************************************************************

My access_log does not show the remote machine connecting, however,
should it?

I then edited my smb.conf file to allow raw drivers as follows

**************************************************************

comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
        printable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        writeable = no
        create mode = 700
        print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r
        lpq command = lpstat -o %p
        lprm command =  cancel %p-%j  
**************************************************************

I can get the system printing on Mandrake 9.1 with these settings but
not on RH9. I am assuming that the RH9 has some different configuration
somewhere to Mandrake.

Any suggestions on how to get this going?

Regards,
