My experience with a HP (i think it was 712C) on RH6.2
is:
1. I got it to work, but it randomly crashes the server--
looking back on it it could be because I did not define
printer "pause" and "cancel" function from windows<->samba..
never did find out, but seems to correlate with printing
very large files. I never did find out.
2. The way i figured it, is I print from windows using common
Postscript printers (some apple printers work)..on the linux
side there would be postscript renderer (ghostscript I think)
that receives the postscript stream and converts
to whatever the printer needs...this method creates large files
when printing graphics.
3. once its working, you can alias the printer to many names and
many drivers, I had filters for BW, BW lowres, Color, etc mapped
to the same printer using different drivers (each one having
its own samba entry).
all i remember for now...sorry for the lack of details, it was
a year ago.
