Re: Problem with printing on change of printer

[Frantisek Hanzlik <franta@hanzlici.cz>]

As Reinhard write, it is cups problem.
In "/etc/cups/mime.convs" you must uncomment line:

application/octet-stream       application/vnd.cups-raw        0       -


Line in "/etc/cups/mime.types":

application/octet-stream

should be uncommented too (althought not necessary when You specify
"-l" lpr switch - equivalent of "-o raw")
