I'm using Clarkconnect as a file/printserver/router/etc... I got everything working except this! All last night and today I've been messing with it, so help me out so I can go on with my life!

Anyways, from the CC box I can print the test page fine. From Windows XP I can't get it to print. Looking in the CUPS jobs section, it seems my Windows print jobs ARE making it to the CC box and apparently are processed properly, but they don't actually print.

Right now I'm using the Adobe postscript driver and a PPD config file from linuxprinting.org (same one that works fine on the CC box). I can see the printer on the Windows machines, but when I click it says there aren't the proper drivers available. According the linuxprinting.org, that's why I must use the Adobe postscript drivers.

So what am I missing?
