"Raw" means "really raw" - i.e. no filtering or any other kind
of data changes. If you need any kind of data conversion you
must use a filter. For details have a look at
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/06/jsmeix_print-cups-filters.html

Regarding CUPS in general you may have a look at
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jsmeix_print-cups-in-a-nutshell.html

In particular: Keep "filter" and "backend" strictly seperated.
A filter does data conversion.
A backend only forwards data to the destination (the printer).
