setting up a raw printer for windows use

[Jack]

Just as an aside, you can create these printers pretty easily with the command line.
lpadmin -p BigBrother -v socket://10.6.0.12:9100 -p raw; cupsenable BigBrother; accept BigBrother

where BigBrother is the name of the printer and the socket:// part is the connect information for the printer.  This can be much more than just socket ... smb:// ipp:// lpd:// etc.

Anyway, there's a bit of documentation on this, perhaps it'll help.
