your log snippets don#t show the document-type of the input file
nor the filters involved.
Switch on debug logging (cupsctl —debug-logging), print from the command line
and then extract all messages containing "[Job xxxx]“ from the error_log.

What I see from your snippets is:
the printer accepts one of these formats:
–	application/object-stream		(what means raw data)
–	image/pwg-raster
–	image/urf

The filter chain for this printer needs to lead to one of these.
