Funny thing is, I just got the laptop to print to my linux box. lol
I'm using cups and I don't have a problem printing PDF's to it.
And when I add the printer in windows, it connected to the linux box to get
the driver.
Under advanced tab on the printer properties, the print processor tells me
it's using winprint in raw mode.
I do remember I did install the print drivers on windows, but I'm not really
sure that it's using them or not.
I do know that the linux driver is the one that does all the work though.

so I think it has to do with the print drivers on windows interacting with
the drivers on Linux. My investigation continues.
