I tried it on a windows 98SE machine and it looks like tn5250 worked 
(one printer said it didn't support StretchBlt and the other ate the 
job.  I'm asuming for now these are both samba+cups problems).

I went to a few production WinXPpro machines and tn5250 worked.  Both 
printers printed fine (even though the 98 machine didn't as described 
above) and the print out looks good.  There must be something screwing 
on my WinXPpro machine.  It is my testbed, so it has software three ways 
to sunday installed on it; although it runs fine.  Wierd.  Considering 
tn5250 works on the production machines I'll pass it out to a few users 
and get some heavy use on it.

Thanks.  You would have enjoyed the way one of my user's eyes lit up 
when I gave this to her :-)
