Remote Printer Trouble

Hi,

I'm having trouble with a remote printer. The Epson Stylus Color 860 printer is on a Mandrake 9.0 system. I'm trying to print on that printer from a Mandrake 10.1 system. When I do that the 10.1 system doesn't complain, but nothing prints. The 9.0 system has this invar-log-syslog

Apr 28 18:34:42 foo cups-lpd30262: Connection from ws11 (192.168.1.11) Apr 28 18:34:42 foo cups-lpd30262: Receive print job for lp0 Apr 28 18:34:43 foo cups-lpd30262: Unable to print file - client-error-document-format-not-supported Apr 28 18:34:44 foo cups-lpd30262: Closing connection

I've tried printing a text file, and I've tried using a2ps to convert that text file to PostScript before printing. I can print that file by either method if I print locally on the 9.0 system.

SOLUTION Remote Printer Trouble
Of all things, I found a solution in a SAMBA related FAQ. My cupsd.conf was already as suggested below, but the other suggestions to uncomment the "application-octet-stream" lines seems to...

I'd really appreciate suggestions on how to debug this further, or even better, how to fix it.

Thanks....
