FreeBSD CUPS and filePro only thing not printing

[Walter Vaughan]

Here's one for the books.

FreeBSD 5.4 server
filePro 5.0.13 FreeBSD
HP LaserJet 1200 connected via parallel cable to server
Samba 3.012

Machine had default lpr. Wanted to be able to use printer from XP laptops.
Upgraded to LPRng. FilePro prints fine. Windows pretty much pissed off.
Upgraded to CUPS. Followed directions for installing CUPS.
Installed a printer called HP.

Then edited /usr/local/etc/smb.conf

    1. Add to the [global] section:

     printcap name = cups
     printing = cups

    2. Add a printer section

     [Printer]
         comment = Network Printer
         path = /var/spool/samba
         guest ok = Yes
         printable = Yes
Restarted SAMBA, and configured laptops to use printer and everyone is happy.
Except momma.
FilePro jobs just become "Jobs on Hold"

Check printer maintenance. Printer type is hplaser.

lpr -Php is what was there.

cat /etc/motd | lpr -Php    works just fine from the command line logged in a 
filepro. What the heck? It can't be permissions issue.

I discovered (learned hard way) that cups uses magic like hylafax does to 
determine mime/file types in order to properly print it.

lpr -Php -oraw  was the trick. Bah.
Gotta print RAW. Grrr.

Hopefully this will help someone else.
