What exactly do you mean by a "Raw Printer Driver"?  Raw print queues 
don't use filters (and thus doesn't need a PPD file) -- the data just 
gets dumped to the printer. This is explained in the Samba CUPS 
documentation[1].

This makes me wonder if there isn't some sort of network issue in play, 
as opposed to a PPD or filter issue.
