I put together the cups PS driver (cupsps6.dll et.al.) and the postscript driver
from HP laserjet PS (pscript5.dll et.al.) as described in the CUPS HOWTO
then used cupsaddsmb to make it available to the workstations. This driver
installs automatically just fine when I connect to the printer share and
quite correctly produces a postscript file - unfortunately samba+CUPS
don't recognise the need to render it. I haven't got cups options = raw in
my smb.conf so it shouldn't bypass the CUPS filtering (I don't think)
