Raw Printing Doesn't work...

[Paul]

It sounds like the printer is flushing the job.  As long as it isn't an intermec printer, they should be flat ascii jobs.  if you pause the queue, cat out the c* file in the /var/spool/cups directory you should be able to paste that into a telnet session to the printer on 9100.  if that doesn't print, you have a bum print job. that's missing something (or out and out wrong language) and the printer is flushing the job.
