   Not in BeOS, but the first step would be to print something to file in   
   windows using the driver for that printer.   
      
   Then examine the file produced and see if you can figure out what is being   
   sent to the printer.   
      
   repeat with different output, see if there are any sections of the files   
   that are similar.  Generally find out as much as you can about what is sent   
   to the printer.   
      
   See if it's bitmaps, pixel maps of a recognised picture format (Tiffs etc.),   
   then take it from there.
