Also, I've found that I have to run

cupsaddsmb -U root QTR2200

Where QTR2200 is the printer name for QTR.  I have to do this after 
changing settings on the Linux print server otherwise new curves don't 
propigate to the windows client.  I also usually need to restart SMB on 
the server AND do a complete reboot of Win2K.  I hope that this is just 
me, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a windows 'feature'.  I was 
scratching my head about those density settings for the longest time.

Anyone else using CUPS/Samba/Windows notice this?  Am I on crack?

|your setup sounds about correct. There are some issues with the sharing
|of the printer to windows:
|
|You have to set the curves directly in linux using lpoptions. You can
|select the curves in the windows driver, but they don't have any effect
|on the resulting print. Also the curves aren't updated in the windows
|driver when you add new curves in Linux.
|
|You can edit /etc/cups/lpoptions directly and add the options there. Use
|'lpoptions -p <printername> -l' to list available options.
|
|This is what my file looks like at the moment:
|
|Default EpsonQuad ColorModel=QTRIP ripBlend=100 ripCurve1=2100-warm
|PageSize=A4 InputSlot=Auto Resolution=1440x1440hq2 MediaType=Matte
|stpDensity=2000
|
|InputSlot=Auto is very important, otherwise windows won't print.
|
|Density has to be set to 2.000 for the calibration procedure to work.
|
|'Quadtone calibration' has to be set both in windows and in Linux when
|you do the calibration.
|
|There may be other options that only has an effect when set in either
|windows or linux, but I haven't systematically gone through all of them
|to find out which.
