Kam,
	*GREAT* piece of advice!  Looking at a couple of the pages that came up
I found out that my Fedora CUPS configuration had commented out the
stuff for "raw" printing support in mime.convs and mime.types.  When I
uncommented them and "reload"ed cups, I can now print from my Windows
machines!  Who'd've thought it!  I have no idea if Fedora ships this
way, or if this is a holdover of years and years of upgrading my
RedHat/Fedora.  Why couldn't I find this stuff when I went looking for
it earlier this month!  THANKS!
