Problem is that the queue is set B&W in the CUPS config (just tested this from the SuSE box acting as the print server, however I think that the raw option for the -o raw is the culprit here on the print command option line for lpr-cups. Do Samba shared printers require this option? Unfortunately, my boss is not giving me the option of this being resolved through a non-tech solution. Either I find a way to block this, or I have to move printing back to a Windows Server 2003 box and then screw over all the Mac and Linux workstation users here that cannot use the enforced Windows print driver security settings. -- Gary L.
