I want to be clear. You upgraded the OS not isnstalled a fresh copy? I
assume you then went into system-config-printer and reconfigured the
Jet Direct Printer. We aproach the Jet Direct Printer differently then
you have. We us the LPD like printing and make the spool file raw. You
might try that. It seems to me you could do the same by printing to
your Samba printer directly instead of going through Samba. But this I
am not as familiar with.
