samba - Jan 2005 - Savin Copier Print Processor

I have FreeBSD 5.3 running on an Sun Ultra 10.  I installed Samba 3.03, from
patching SWAT now says version 3.07.  I am having an issue printing from Windows
through Samba to Savin copiers (model 9935DPE and 9945DPE) when downloading the
Windows drivers directly from the [print$] share.  When I print a test page, the
orientation of the lettering is correct but the letters are gibberish.  The
Windows logo in the corner looks correct.  If I do not download the drivers from
the server, but install them manually on Windows, then everything prints fine. 
The only thing that I have found so far is that the Print Processors are listed
differently on the printer when downloading the drivers directly.  When
downloading the drivers, the Print Processor is listed as "winprint"
and the default data type is RAW.  When I manually install the drivers, the
Print Processors are "HPPRN05" and "WinPrint" and data types
are RAW, RAW [FF appended], RAW [FF auto], NT EMF 1.003, NT EMF 1.006, NT EMF
1.007, NT EMF 1.008, and TEXT.  This is using the same exact drivers on Samba
and on Windows: SAVIN 9935DPE/2035DPE PCL 5e.  I have tried the PostScript
driver and the PCL 6 driver with similar results (actually more garbled using
these drivers).

I have searched on Google, the Savin site, and samba.org, but have not found
anything yet.  Is there a way to manually apply the Print Processor information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Samba only support RAW printing. EMF printing requires that
the server render the final print job.  We can't execute
the win32 code to do that right now.

I'd try to use a different driver or use TCP/IP printing
if you can't.
