[cups.general] HP 4600 + CUPS + SAMBA

Hello folks,

My company recently bought an HP 4600DN (laser color) printer, the
printer has a NIC included and I installed it on a Linux (SUSE 8.1)
spooler that works with CUPS 1.1.15 and Samba 2.2.5. The printer is
shared as a raw printer with Windows NT machines.

I've tried using all the drivers provided by HP: pcl3, pcl5, ps but with
all of them I have had trouble. The one that seems to work better is the
pcl5 driver but the users still complains about several small but
annoying issues when they print from Acrobat Reader of Microsoft Office.
For example not being able to print medium-sized PDFs, problems with of
alineation, or with the orientation of the paper, etc. etc.

Is there any way to make this printer work well in my platform?

I am trying to avoid the use of an NT spooler...

TIA.
