Mixed lan printing problem

I need to print from an XP laptop to a printer on FC4.  The command in 
smb.conf that I have always used is

print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r  # using client side printer 
drivers

I have not been able to get the printing to work today - the laptop hasn't 
been in use for months.  I deleted the printer and added a new connection.  
It said it could see the printer, add it and make it default, but nothing 
comes out at the other end.

The cups error log gives me:

	I [10/Nov/2006:12:20:44 +0000] Started "/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/jobs.cgi" 		
(pid=3389)
	E [10/Nov/2006:12:24:01 +0000] print_job: Unsupported 
format 'application/octet-stream'!
	I [10/Nov/2006:12:24:01 +0000] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing rules 
enabled?

Isn't that what the smb.conf line does?

The correct printer driver is running on XP.  I can't think what else to 
check.
