[cups] Correct Mimetype For Raw Printing Using ipptool

[Matt Andrews]

Thanks Michael.

When you say “direct printing” do you mean using the raw mime type, or do
you mean bypassing CUPS entirely?

As far as label printers go, more specifically the make I’m using which is
Zebra, their recommended setup is actually through cups.

Anyway, just tried it with your suggested mine type and it worked
perfectly.

Thanks again
