"Raw" menas "unfiltered" so that you cannot filter a raw queue.
Instead use a queue with a "System V style interface script",
see for example
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
and
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Filters_to_Print_with_CUPS

By the way 1:
I think that in your case the application which produces the PCL
is broken because it should produce the right printer specific data
(i.e. with correct line breaks for the particular printer).

By the way 2:
Often one can configure the line break in the printer itself.
