You don't have a raw queue defined, and so printconf doesn't configure CUPS for raw printing. At some point, I expect you edited /etc/cups/mime.convs by hand to enable raw printing. Using Desktop->Administration->Printing, add a raw print queue. Just call it 'raw' if you like. On the 'Printer model' page, scroll down to the bottom and select 'Raw Print Queue'. Does printing work now?
it is new in cups 1.2 ??
works just perfect! but this is definitively new in 1.2.
Thanks, fixed my problem too!
This is not new in CUPS-1.2; CUPS-1.1.x behaves in exactly the same way. In fact it is system-config-printer that does this, changing the mime.types file automatically depending on whether raw queues are defined. It has always behaved that way on FC5. If you've had raw printing working before without raw queues being defined, you have edited /etc/cups/mime.types by hand (or some other program has done for you). This will always be overwritten whenever you change your printer configuration or update CUPS.
before 1.2, i never had to do this way! anyway, thanks for your help...
But had you edited /etc/cups/mime.types to uncomment the octet-stream line?
yes, i always have (had) to uncomment the octet-stream's in mime.types an mime.confs.
now, with cups-1.2.1-1.2, it's just perfect, like before, without the "raw share"!
