compression=gzip and RAW Print Queues (ipp)

[Andrew Powell]

Would there be a way to modify the PPD file so it would get decompressed 
and sent to the printer without any further processing?

If the printer was setup as a Generic Text-Only printer, what would need 
to change in the /etc/cups/ppd/jaxshop.ppd file so no post-processing 
would occur?  Could something like this even work?
