Sorry .. The problem has been solved ..
The Configuration that I posted was OK, but I did not remember to connect
the new printer share: A new raw printer created under cups. I used the old
printer share, with a driver loaded into cups, so, when MSDOS printed
something, exit was unformatted .
When you need raw printing, it's necessary to create a rew printer in cups,
without any driver. I had created it, but I was not using it .
Sorry .
P.D.: I don't find anything about cups options=raw in Samba3-HOWTO but in
man pages there is a good example. I don't use this parameter and things
seem to work OK.

The changes are documented in a chapter called "Upgrading Samba" in the
book
"The Official Samba3 HOWTO". Upgrade issues are discussed in the book
"Samba-3 By Example", chapter 8.
See http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf and
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf
I use samba through Windows XP/98/2000 and a MS-DOS program that sends
print works to a linux machine with samba. With version 2.2.4 all seemed
OK
and worked fine. With version 3.0.14 printers don't work. I need raw
printing.
When Samba-3 has been compiled with the CUPS libraries, printing goes
direct
via the CUPS library API. To enable raw printing add the parameter "cups
options = raw".
For example, this line (print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r)
doesn't work in new version. Do I replace this with printing=cups and
cups
options=raw ? I did it and printing system doesn't work OK ..
I write here my old options :
[Global]
printcap name = lpstat
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
browseable = No
Look at the worked example smb.conf files in the book "Samba-3 By
Example" -
it might help you.
This config doesn't work anyway. Cups doesn't receive works.
Now I write the new options I'm trying to use with 3.0.14 version:
[Global]
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
printcap = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
use client driver = Yes
;printing = cups
lpq command = lpstat.cups -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
browseable = No
And edit mime.types and mime.convs in cups config for
application/octet-....
Printing works with this config, but some of them are printed
unformatted,
with fonts bigger than old config . I send the work via (i.e.) cat
work.txt
> lp0 and cups prints it OK . Works sended via Word, Excel, etc. are OK
> too.
There is something wrong with some works sended via MS-DOS programs (like
edit program) but I don't know what is the problem .
Any suggestions ??
Read the CUPS chapters in the book "The Official Samba3 HOWTO and
Reference
Guide."
