Hi, managers

I just installed samba-2.0.0 on my DU4.0d box. I hope users on Win9x
clients can share the printer on this box via samba. I have spent one days
on setting up the samba printer, but no success. From samba's documents it
seems that the key is to set up a raw samba printer. The following is the
example printcap file from samba's document.
--------start the example-----------
raw:\
        :rw:sh: \
        :lp=/dev/lp1: \
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw: \
        :fx=flp:
--------end of the example----------
I found that this doesn't apply to Digital Unix.
How I can set up a raw printer. Or somebody have the experince setting up
samba printer on DU box? BTW, how can force print binary file via lpr?

Thanks in advance!
