CUPS not printing via ipp: protocol

[Rich Lott]

Thank you gborzi!

I have TWO ways to get it working.

1. as gborzi said, on the client machine use Raw Queue driver. This works 
fine, but it means the client has no control over the printer functions (eg. 
quality, media...)

2. same principle, add the printer to the server, using the Raw Queue driver. 
Set the client up with the drivers, pointing to the raw queue. This way the 
client /can/ control the driver settings, and it works too.

I'm really happy to have found a solution. I still think this is a bug 
though -- the cups server should be able to tell whether a data stream is 
postscript or whether it's in raw printer language and adjust accordingly. 
Clearly this is what the Windoze box feeds it, and it is correctly identified 
by the cups server and passed to the printer.

Anyone think it's worth raising it as a bug in Ubuntu?
