>From the logs, It's definitely not raw  ,  You need to define a print queue
which doesn't  use any PPD File ,   From the system-config-printer, After
selecting the backend (socket, ipp, samba), and while selecting the Model ,
you need to select Generic->Raw Print queue

or lp <file-name> -d <printername> -o raw

When you use a PPD file, the filters will try to modify the job before
presenting it to a printer, Since the job already contains the necessary
label codes,
you just need to pass on the data as it is ,without any modification by
filters.
