No, I meant on a Windows client.  You can use a Windows client to
install Windows drivers to a Samba print server that's operating in
raw mode.  Then you can configure the printer driver from the Windows
client, and I'm pretty sure that saves the default settings on the
Samba server.  Then you can point-and-print from Windows (no manual
driver installation needed), just as you could if you were using full
(non-raw) Samba-CUPS integration.
