But if the user knows that it is already printer specific data then it is always possible to skip any CUPS filtering by printing it with the "-o raw" option.
You VASTLY understate the problem of educating an office full of clerks on the decision makeing necessary to print the boss's memo. By far the easiest solution is to create two cups printers, one named (and set up for) windows/samba and the other for the (much smaller user base) linux users. And yes, having set up 6 or 8 commercial offices, I ALWAYS uncomment the mime types for cups so that raw means raw, and not "raw if you tell me on every single print job that you really do want it raw." Its absolutely infuriating to set up a printer believing that what the screens and the manual say only to find out that raw does not mean raw. That costs the userbase WAY more in hours than 10 sheets of paper now and then. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
