To print the files, use the application/vnd.cups-raw file type (or
just "-o raw" on the command-line) to pass the file directly to the
printer unfiltered.

As for generating the printer data, there is nothing in CUPS right
now to automatically do what you want - PS/PDF files can be converted
and printed, of course, but there is no driver/filter to generate PCL
text or barcodes.
