Every time it gets re-written, I run into the issue here: http://samba.imasd.elmundo.es/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html#cups-raw regarding 'application/octet-stream' getting commented.

The file will get rewritten whenever you update CUPS.

You probably want to create a separate .types file in /etc/cups with
your changes in it (you can duplicate MIME type definitions without
difficulties...)
