lpr raw mode?

[Legg83]

How can I set up lpr to print in raw mode?

I'm trying to get samba to let windows use their own printer drivers to print to the printer, and the only way I can do that is if I print to the printer with raw data (no filtering)

anyone know how to set this up easily? is it just a printcap option?

thanks

which distro. RH has printtool. Theres an option in there for raw mode. Theres also a setting in samba too i think.

i don't think its in samba, samba's just in charge of sending it to the spooler... its the lpr command/printcap deffinition that i need to change... (i think)

Just define a new printer in your printcap that uses no filter. Then install the network printer on your Windows box and use the drivers there.

And you are correct, samba merely passes the job to the queue where lpr takes over.
