Tackling a shared USB printer (linux -> WXP)

To people seeing this problem (needing to define a raw print queue for
Windows printing to a Linux-hosted queue to work), do you have
'printing = cups' in /etc/samba/smb.conf?  Does putting it there
help?

I'm starting to wonder if samba is missing a
'cupsAddOption("raw",[...])'.  Raw printing should work with this
(equivalent to 'lpr -oraw ...') even with octet-stream commented out
in mime.convs.

This is how gimp-print manages to print raw data to a non-raw queue
for instance.
