It's an HP OfficeJet hung on a Windows XP machine. Ok, so your machine is a samba client. That explains the if=... part. :) Anyway, if I'm not terribly mistaken, samba or that XP host will not help you convert from postscript (or whatever the program printing from is delivering) to the printers native language, so if your printer does not grok postscript you still need some kind of filter. However, most printers, if not all, can print normal ascii text. I have no idea what capabilities the HP OfficeJet has, but to me it still seems like ghostscript or something else is needed to convert your output to a suitable format for the printer. /Alexander

I had a similar problem of trying to print to a printer connected to a Windows box, and I have yet to find any solution with, eg Samba or otherwise, to print to it over SMB. At least on Windows XP, there is a Add/Remove Windows Components in the control panel that allows you to install an LPR daemon (which is not installed by default), and pretty much anything can print to it after that. Maybe the situation will work better if you run Windows 2003 or 2008, but I'm not familiar with that case.
