I'd say it is a print configuration on linux side problem.

Have you tried deleting print on XP and adding it again ?

You haven't mentioned what type of printer you have, and what kind of
connection.

With CUPS I set up a queue, pick a driver and share the printer, I also have
a tab for changing printer options. and an info button to tell me about the
driver and printer.

Any job I print pretty much goes through ghostscript. Not sure if pdf's do
too.

Are you sure you've picked the correct driver for your printer ?

Which driver did you select ?

well I am back to where I started except now I'm using lprng.  I can print
text, docs and images from my windows XP pro box  to my printer on my linux
box, but still no PDFs. huh, well that leads me to think that its a samba
thing or maybe a mime types thing.  Any comments?
