Basically, we have 'wierd' behaviour. Excel documents send as landscape which are formatted for landscape, but not rotated on the page; jobs which just don't print at all (postscript errors); Printouts where every occurance of a particular character is missing, or characters are changed.
If we re-configure the clients to talk directly to the printers via an IP port, they work fine with the same drivers and PPDs.
I've configured CUPS to support raw printing (as per 8.5.14 in the Samba Howto).
Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong ?
