Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!

[Silas Silva]

I didn't know about the Raw Device thing, thanks.

The error persists with any particular driver (There are several different models in the network), but it prints with "Raw Device". But, for a test page, it just prints a boring raw string on the sheet: #CUPS-BANNER Show printer-name printer-info ...

At least we can be sure that the LAN connection is working, thanks :-)

But why it wouldn't work with specific drivers?  Is there something I can do?
