[cups.general] Should the CUPS Raster output device of Ghostscript output compressed or uncompressed Raster data?

This means that the printer-specific data for an IDOL printer
is really CUPS raster data.

Because rastertoidol sends data out of the CUPS server,
it acts as a backend on the CUPS server so that it belongs
to rastertoidol to do whatever compression is best for its
particular printer-specific data transfer.

Perhaps the actual CUPS backend is not shown in
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689885#c7
Then rastertoidol acts as a driver for an IDOL printer.
Then it also belongs to rastertoidol to do whatever
compression is best for its particular printer-specific data
which is finally transferred to the printer via an usual
CUPS backend.
