  I installed the correct print drivers by installing them on a Windows machine 
which I had given the correct privilege to upload to the samba server. This is 
the result:

  I don't know how to capture the file, I just click test print from the windows 
    gui.

  I have now discovered that if I set the option in the windows dialog to send 
CTRL-D at the end of the job, then after it has printed out the postscript error 
about PJL commands, it prints the file correctly! If I suppress the postscript 
errors then it appears to work ok, but in fact is getting an error on every 
print job.
