>From your log snippet I suspect (though I have only CUPS 1.3.11 here) that 
the printer in question is configured as a raw only device (without any PPD, 
perhaps using a SYSV style interface script?), as your CUPS tells 
"application/octet stream" as the only supported document format.

PS: Perhaps you could send me details of your configuration (cupsd.conf, 
printers.conf, mime.types, mime.convs) per e-mail (h dot blischke at acm dot
