problem with cupsd

i've just configured my printer with cups and it's working on the local
machine (redhat 8.0) without any problems. but if i want to access it from
a remote computer (windows xp) it will not work..
here is my error log:

D [07/Sep/2003:12:29:01 +0200] print_job: auto-typing file...
D [07/Sep/2003:12:29:01 +0200] print_job: request file type is application/octet-stream.

try putting the printer on share with SAMBA...

That's usually an ESP Ghostscript error, when it does not install correctly.
Did Windows install its own drivers? It should have. Maybe look for updated
drivers. Printing a test page on the RH box will tell you which ghostscript
is present, there is GNU and ESP and probably others.

Another thing to try is a different driver on the RH box, if you installed
the cups + gimp print drivers, use the 'modify' option to install the
foomatic driver instead.

This article might help, though it sounds like you're already past this
point, it covers sharing a CUP printer:
