Printing problems!

Title: Printing problems!

Hi everyone! Our company is a small publishing house and we got some troubles with printing on our HP LaserJet 5MP. We got Linux box acting as print spooler for WinPC and MACs and HP LaserJet 5MP connected to network with external Jet Direct EX PLUS card. We are using Netatalk 1.4b2+asun2 and Samba1.9.18p10-7 for file sharing and together with LPRng 3.5.2-1.3 for printing. First I used TCP/IP to connect to the printer, but there was a problem with postscript containing binary data. They never came out. After that I start using AppleTalk (pap) to connect to the printer, but we still getting some errors and lost printouts. Unfortunately I start using Linux just last summer, so I¹m just beginner and need some help!

I would like use binary mode for all jobs. If you have any suggestions mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for help. Sorry about my bad English.
