Let's go back and try to make it simple.

1) Forget the editing of /etc/cups mime.xxxx   files
2) Forget creating a new dos printer set for 'raw'

3) You need to find the dosemu.conf file and edit that.

In 8.1, it should have been in  /opt/dosemu/conf/
In 9.1 or 9.2  it should now be in /etc/dosemu/

You need to uncomment and modify the line:

$_printer_command = "lpr"     to make it be:

$_printer_command = "lp -o raw'

This *should* do raw printing for you....   but you may need to tweak other 
things as well.  Most of the information has been in these replies but if you 
need more help, come on back with questions.
