I don't know much about this but maybe the adobe postscript printer 
drivers will help

http://www.adobe.com/products/printerdrivers/main.html

and then use the correct ppd file to set the windows printer up on the 
ps driver.

Then perhaps it would behave unixy enough to send something correctly to 
the sambafax wotsit

Come to think of it is Postscript an open standard or is it an Adobe thing?
