In that case, you wouldn't need the 'raw' options. In that case, you might not want to 'allow client driver' to be set to yes but that's a bit trickier. The 'raw' options allow Windows users to use the native drivers supplied on CD or downloaded from the vendor off the Internet. The raw drivers basically bypass ghostscript interpreter. I generally use samba as a PDC and use the printer wizard, do not allow a client driver and the users can get the driver automatically loaded just by finding the printer and adding it.
