I‘m rnning a linux server (fc3) that I have samba mounted to a windows 2000 client. In order to have linux successfully print all documents sent from the windows client a RAW queue may be necessary.

The following errors were visible in the /var/log/messages file when attempting to print a MS Word document:

Mar 16 07:17:38 enigma2 smbd[13023]:
[2005/03/16 07:17:38, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_job_submit(765)
Mar 16 07:17:38 enigma2 smbd[13023]:
Unable to print file to hpdeskjet  clienterror-document-format-not-supported

To fix this, in CUPS you can install a raw queue. It is nessary to uncomment to lines:

in /etc/cups/mime.convs:

application/octet-stream   application/vnd.cups-raw   0   -

in /etc/cups/mime.types:

application/octet-stream
