Samba does not have print drivers. It has a program called SMBPRINT which
takes a byte stream ALREADY FORMATTED FOR THE PRINTER and passes it to the
printer.
What your probably are trying to do is print an ASCII stream or a Postscript
file to a printer that does not understand them.
Go to www.linuxprinting.org and see how they set up CUPS.
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-OfficeJet_5610
For example, I have a different but similar device.
My CUPS printers.conf file contains:
<DefaultPrinter xxxxx-hp>
Info hp Officejet 6100
Location xxxxx's office
DeviceURI smb://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/hp2
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>
My ppd file contains among other things, the text:
*% You may save this file as 'HP-OfficeJet_6110-hpijs.ppd'
It's name is /etc/cups/ppd/<printername>.ppd replace <printername> with the
name of
the printer.
Install the foomatic scripts from linuxprinting.org.
Before YellowDog dropped their mailing lists, I posted complete sets of
directions
for CUPS. You can find them by STFW'ing for my name and "CUPS yellowdog".
