Hello,..

some printers such Lexmark 33XX ,special drivers for dot matrix printers
aren't supported in cups.

i think that there is some way to use them with windows drivers:
 
   have a pc with allready configured printers that runs Windows and
share the printers.
 
im searching for    some way to configure cups to print the jobs not
using it own drivers but the drivers on the    printer host server
(let the other os handle with printing -- in this case windows).

i tried adding a printer  and use raw driver but it won't print:
   cups says: "Processing page 2..."" but won't print a char.


i guess im missing something .

p.s.
if i only could use Lexmark 3330/50 driver for cups
