Re: [Epsonepl-users] RAW printing to EPL-5900L?

[Hin-Tak L. <hin...@ya...>]

How did you configure Samba and CUPS? I think "application/octet-stream"
is somewhat irrelevant to what you are trying to doing (although
missing it will hurt); many print systems have auto- jpeg,gif,dvi,etc
conversions, and they do require raw-intake (i.e. not line-based)
to work, doesn't mean there would be no conversion.

Would be quite interesting to know how everything works.
I think there is some kind of list-printer commands on CUPS.
alternatively, have a look at your /etc/printcap (the default
print queue "lp" is probably raw); you can also run smbclient against
your own computer -

	smbclient -L <netbios name> -U <user>%<password> -I <ipaddress>

should give a list of netbios services (i.e. including all your
samba-exported print queues ; I guess there would be at least two: your
default [raw] queue and a few more from CUPS [translated]).
