I've determined this has to be a CUPS issue because when connecting the printer directly to a Win machine, bypassing CUPS, this does not occur.

That is an incorrect assumption. Windows drivers often change their behavior depending on how they are connected to the device. The fact that you are using a raw driver on the CUPS side points to an issue with the output of the driver.

Try printing to a file on the Windows side and then doing:

    lp -d printer -o raw filename

on the CUPS server.
