Jerry, if you can print from your linux system that is running the samba
server then you need to go into /etc/cups and edit the mime.types and
mime.convs files.

In the mime.types file find the line

# application/octet-stream 

under Raw Printer Support and uncomment it.

Then in the mime.convs file find the line

# application/octet-stream        application/vnd.cups-raw     0       -

and uncomment it as well.

Hope this will help you.
