Re: Samba printing format not supported
 

Hy,

I had the same problem, which I could solve by editing the files
/etc/cups/mime.convs AND
/etc/cups/mime.types

After uncommenting the lines
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
in mime.convs

and

application/octet-stream
in mime.types

I could print via SAMBA.

I think the same could be achieved by adding '-oraw' to your print command in smb.conf
(print command = lpr -r -P'%p' -oraw %s
or whatever ;) )

Hope this helped

You Rock!
 

The angels sing.
I've been stuck on this for three days.
I'm a Linux / Samba newbie and thought I was never going to figure it out.
You da' man!
Thank you!!!
