It was working previously, I didn't touch the file since.  But I have
achieved a working configuration -

[root at crew tmp]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd 
service printer
{
	socket_type = stream
	protocol = tcp
	wait = no
	user = lp
	group = lp
	passenv =
	server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
	server_args = -o job-sheets=none -o
document-format=application/vnd.cups-raw
}

The "document-format=application/vnd.cups-raw" seems to get around
whatever the problem/misunderstanding was.
