 * Why does lxdnwbgw.exe segfault on windows?
 * How to generate an EMFSPOOL file from linux?
 * Upload download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/E/95EF66AF-9026-4BB0-A41D-A4F81802D92C/%5BMS-EMFSPOOL%5D.pdf to mediagoblin
 * cups should have an option to save files as they were sent to the printer for easier debugging (like windows "retain print job" that ends up in %WINDOWS%\system32\spool\)
 * why is cups "Generic GDI" file format actually HP specific and not producing EMF-SPL aka EMFSPOOL aka Enhanced Meta File Spool format.
 * What is the LEMF (Lexmark EMF) file format?
 * This is secondary since you can make the printer driver accept NT EMF 1.008 (printer settings, advanced, print processor).

= Notes = From C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\lexmark_2600_seriesaa0d\lxdnrme.doc

Spool formats The different spool formats supported include LEMF, RAW, and EMF. The Lexmark 2600 Series is designed to work best with the LEMF spool format. The other formats can cause unpredictable results and should only be used when LEMF mode fails to print correctly. Note: Changing the Default Data type while some applications are open can result in printing problems. For best results, close all applications before changing this setting.

printing directly: (echo print filename | smbclient //hostname/printershare)

this is similar to using smbspool
