[cups.general] Help needed with Raw Queue on network

[Alex Janssen]

Hello,
I think I need some help from a cups guru, here.

I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with a high speed Genicom dot line printer 
connected to a Generic -> Raw Queue and cups-lpd running via xinetd to 
accept print jobs from my SCO 5.0.6 box where it is set up as a simple 
remote lpd printer.  I have banners turned off in the config dialog.  
/etc/xinetd.d/cups is configured as in the man page, except I added 
only_from=192.168.1.1 to keep others out.

If I print plain-text to it on the U7.10 server, I get exactly what I 
send to it, which is what I want.  If I send plain-text to it from the 
SCO box, via lp, I get a few pages of banner postscript code, then my 
print job in plain text following.  The postscript code is definitely 
from the linux box as it carries a creation date of 20070620 in a 
comment.  I do not have cups on the SCO box. 

I thought Raw Queue meant pass it on to the printer with no 
preprocessing.  Is this a bug?

Is cups-lpd doing this or is there something I'm missing in the config.

If I could get rid of this header code, I'd be home-free (I think).

We print many thousands of package and product labels a day on this 
printer, so I had to connect it to someones WinXP box to get the work out.

I had this printer taking jobs on Ubuntu 6.0.6 through a Samba printer 
share for a year and a half.  I had security=share in smb.conf.  It 
suddenly started refusing connections a few days ago and I couldn't 
figure out what went wrong, so I installed U7.10 for the updated cupsys 
install.

I really need to get this printer out of the managers office.  :-(   Help.

Alex
