Hi,

I am setting up 2 printers on debian with cups.

The two printer types I have set in the cups http://localhost:631 tool are
below.

Kyocera FS-1700+, Foomatic + Postscript
Samsung ML-4500, Foomatic + gdi

The samsung prints a proper cups test page when told. The kyocera prints
postscript code (i don't know if this is correct).

I have changed the samba configuration so that it shows the printers but
when I try to print from windows I get the following message

Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter
for assistance? Unable to create a print job.

I would like to know if anyone knows how to get it to print through windows
or can point me to the relevent documentation that may assist in getting it
to work.


Kind Regards,
Anthony Irwin
