Why we need "-o raw" when the files to print are postscript? - Its
because testfile.ps is postscript level 1(!!) and the CUPS is so "kind"
to manipulate (violate!) testfile.ps so that the HL 5250 prints NOTHING.
Using -o raw the testfile.ps ist printed correctly. But we need to print
that file to another Tray than the default tray ;-(
