[cups] Correct Mimetype For Raw Printing Using ipptool

[Matt Andrews]

I’ve currently got the printer setup with the Zebra ZPL driver which is
included with CUPS 1.5.3.

How then should jobs be sent to CUPS for label printing? With mimetype
application/zpl or something?

By the way the printer is setup as an AppSocket type.
