[cups.general] Raw printing only for one printer

[Bryan J. Maupin]

1. If to add a raw print queue I simply need to not specify a PPD, what 
is the "-m raw" option of lpadmin for?
2. How do I set up Windows printers to be able to print raw?  The 
document I mentioned 
(http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html#id2634124) 
says:

"In the |smb.conf| file |[printers]| section add use client driver = Yes 
<http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/smb.conf.5.html#USECLIENTDRIVER>"

However in my smb.conf file, I have this line commented out:

";    cups options = raw"

Which is correct?
3. The above approaches to raw printing via Samba seem to be all or 
nothing.  Is it possible for me to set up some print queues so that 
Windows will use the CUPS drivers and others so that Windows will use 
standard print drivers (raw)?

The printers on the Windows print server are set up using IPP, added to the CUPS server running on RHEL 5.5, which I then set up so that the Windows servers could print to it using these instructions:

Is there a way that I can set up this one MICR printer to print raw (using the normal Windows print drivers) while leaving all the other printers the same (using the Windows CUPS print drivers)?
