I want to share printers to windows systems, and have the windows  
systems use the windows driver to format.  I have tried with the  
out-of-the-box configs, and I tried making changes.  Works perfectly  
on a Gentoo system with cups 1.4.6 -- even copied the printer config  
over, and it still does not work.  I can access the printer via  a web  
browser. Using a local ppd filter will allow for a test page print  
through cups -- but I need to have raw working. I have posted to  
forums, and have been going round-and-round on the cups mailing list  
-- raw printing simply won't work with Debian and Cups 1.4.4-7.

Here is output from an Epson Stylus R2400 served from my Debian box  
via IPP to a Windows 7 box, installed with current & appropriate driver:

===============================</log>=======================================

The printer never makes a sound, and the queue remains empty (as far  
as I can see).
No complaints from Windows.

I cannot print a test cups page when setup as raw.  I believe this is  
because this is not a postscript printer, and the test page is  
postscript.
