[cw-discuss] Windows printer question on codeweaver?

[Chris Balmforth]

I get good results by installing my printer (which has no Linux driver) 
on my Ubuntu server as a RAW CUPS printer (no Linux driver needed), then 
making it available to the network via Samba. When I try connect to it 
with a Windows machine it tells me that the server has the wrong driver 
and asks me to install the correct driver locally. Install the printer's 
Windows driver on the Windows machine and everything works fine.

You might need to Google a bit to solve some CUPS and Samba RAW printing 
issues, but I got it working fine in the end.

Sorry, ended up a bit OT for Crossover!
