SAMBA is linked with libcups, i have printing = cups set in smb.conf, and i can print to the printer from windows, but the print job is never sucessful.  it gets as far as sucking the paper into the printer to print, but then stops there only after partially printing the page.

ok, here's some more information:

i can print just fine from linux (well, the test page, i should install something like a web browser to print from for testing) and i can print text fine from windows via SAMBA, but if i try to print something with graphics in it from windows, the printer hangs and won't finish what it
started.  it hangs very early in the page too.

Slackware 10
CUPS 1.1.20
ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1
Epson PIPS 2.6.2
SAMBA 3.0.4

thanks!!
