[cups.general] Raw printing on 1.4.2

[Michael Sweet]

Sounds like you have banners (job-sheets) enabled, and those use a new banner file format (previously they were PostScript files).

If you want banners, you can replace the standard banner files with the old PostScript ones or even just plain text.

Banners are stored in /usr/share/cups/banners.
