[cups.general] What does "RAW" means for a queue?

Good hint Kurt! Instead of removing I've simply added them on that specific
printer queue; I've also dropped the "rm %s" part so now I have the output
from Samba. Using the output from Samba I did several attempts with the lp
command, it's not Samba's fault on this particular one, looks like a CUPS
problem! I mean I can't see absolutely no reason for which the output of
Samba (which was coming from the Windows PS driver!) should not pass through
CUPS to the printer with the following command:

lp -d LXMRK2 -t Kagan -o raw /var/spool/lpd/LXMRK/smbprn.00003123.poiZZ

Yet 1.1.17 outpus it without any problem(s) but 1.1.22 doesn't.
