Description Jonathan Fosburgh 2006-07-02 03:30:19 UTC 
CUPS version 1.2.0 contains a bug (#1667) that breaks automatic raw data printing using the application/octet stream mime type.  This is fixed in 1.2.1, or via patch to the current version. The following error is in /var/log/cups/error_log:

Print-Job client-error-document-format-not-supported: Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'!

Even if the application/octet-stream entries are uncommented in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types and mime.convs.

Also, it appears that the port clobbers the mime.convs file when it is installed.

Fix: 

Upgrade to 1.2.1, or apply patch str1667.patch from following location:

http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1667
How-To-Repeat: This is most often encountered when printing to CUPs printers from a Windows client with the windows driver.  Especially if you are not using samba (instead using IPP).  Samba has a workaround for this, apparently.  Otherwise, try to print raw data without passing -oraw to the command.

Cool.  I was also going to bring up the permission problems ... I noticed I 
now have to change permissions on /dev/ulpt in order to print.  Looks like 
this PR seeks to address that.
