The PC prints using the PC's drivers. Samba 'prints' by creating a shared
spool directory. The PC creates a file in this shared directory and fills
it with the data for the printer. When the PC is done printing the Amiga
copies this file to par: (or gp0: or wherever) without going thru the prt:
device.
