It uses PS for the banner page, but since there is no filter for
the raw file it can't print that file.  This is a side-effect of
running the backend once for all files in a job (the banner page(s)
count as files, too), so we're adding a "raw" filter in CUPS 1.3
to allow for raw printing of files - this will only get used when
needed.

Add "-o job-sheets=none" to the cups-lpd options.
