Hi John,

first you see all printers accessable in your LAN (all other Cups, 
Windows, Port 9100 Printservers) plus not existing but possible other 
types (serial...)

second: for raw printers use Manufacturer "Raw" and "Raw Queue (en)" as 
model.

If your cups doesn't know "Raw" you can use lpadmin with "-m" to specify 
the model (man lpadmin).
