Description Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-14 03:06:43 UTC
The default configuration file of CUPS already has the raw data uncommented by default.

From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml#remote_usage:

Enable Support for Windows PCL Drivers

PCL drivers send raw data to the print server. To enable raw printing on CUPS, you need to edit /etc/cups/mime.types and uncomment the line application/octet-stream. Then you need to edit /etc/cups/mime.convs and uncomment the line containing application/octet-stream.

Code Listing 3.7: Enable support for raw printing

# vim /etc/cups/mime.types
(Uncomment the line so that the file contains:)
application/octet-stream

# vim /etc/cups/mime.convs
(Uncomment the line so that the file contains:)
application/octet-stream     application/vnd.cups-raw    0    -

Do not forget to restart CUPS after making changes to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf by running /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
