You're almost there: The jet-direct card supports two devices:

-raw for raw (as is) output AND
-text (for text output. does CR/LF translation depending on setup)

you need to print to the raw device (name of printer on server = raw)

This implies that your page is ready formatted. Possibly you have to set
up a virtuel printer that prints to /dev/null and activate the "remote"
feature in /etc/apsfilterrc.printername. I think, the manual describes
this process. At least, the german SDB does.
