[cups] Raw queues (Was: CUPS 2.2.7)

[Alex Korobkin]

I have a few questions about raw that were deprecated in this release (
https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5269).

1. Will it affect Samba printing? Samba submits raw data to non-raw queues.

My environment prints thousands of labels per day to raw queues of label
printers for precisely the reason listed in the bug: to hardcode proper ZPL
parameters into the label and avoid any misconfiguration issues on the
printer or printserver. So,

2. if I revert the commits linked to the bug, will it restore raw queues
functionality, or are there any other commits not listed in the bug?

3. Developers want to be sure that the label they are printing is printed
the same way on the slightly different label printers. What is the
recommended way to handle it? Hardcode any possible PPD default into the
job arguments?

Thanks in advance.
