Hi,

I'm trying to print from windows threw IPP. It works fine when I use PS driver, but does not using PCL one.

I'm using CUPS 1.2.4 (the one from CentOS 5.2).
The printer is a Dell 5110cn.

I putted log to DEBUG level and noticed that the requested file type is text/plain. Souldn't it be application/vnd.cups-raw ? I have the following line in mime.types:

application/vnd.cups-raw        (string(0,<1B>E) + !string(2,<1B>%0B)) \
                                string(0,<1B>@) \
                                (contains(0,128,<1B>%-12345X) + \
                                 (contains(0,1024,"LANGUAGE=PCL") \
                                  contains(0,1024,"LANGUAGE = PCL")))

The consequence is that the job stops with "Invalid character in input".

Please help me
