I have reproduced this, as follows:

1. I have a house Samba server which is configured with a test printer `share'
which just dumps data to disk.
2. Select from the Gnome menu bar System / Administration / Printing. The
Printers window appears.
3. Double-click `New Printer'. The wizard appears.
4. Select: Network Printer, Windows Printer (SMB), enter username and password
in the dialogue box. Select the correct Host and Printer from the drop down
boxes. Click Forward; `Step 2 of 2: Printer Driver' appears.
5. Select Manufacturer Epson from the drop down box, and then left-click on (in
the Model list) Stylus Color 440. The Driver section changes appearance and
shows `stcolor (recommended)'.
6. Click `Apply'. The wizard closes and the new printer appears.

7. Select an image in the file manager, and with the right-button context menu,
select Open With / Open with Gimp Image Editor. Gimp appears.
8. Dismiss the tip of the day.
9. In the Gimp window showing the image, from the menu, select `File / Print
...' The print dialogue appears.
10. Change the printer name, if necessary, to the new printer
`Stylus-Color-440'. Observe that Gimp is confused and thinks the printer
`model' is `Postscript Level 2'.
11. Select Print from the bottom right corner of the dialogue box.
12. Observe in the CUPS logs
D [27/Sep/2005:18:24:03 +0100] print_job: request file type is
application/vnd.cups-raw.
and that the file sent to the `printer' is a PostScript file.
