Printing from XP/W2k fails with an "unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'" error.
I have tried turning filtering on and off, which only serves to let firefox print 2 lines of raw data and stop. The Win98 box prints happily in either mode!
What next to try??

Hi Tim I think the answer might be that you haven't enabled the mime type "application/octet-stream" in the cups config files. This problem has caught me out before. In my version (SUSE 9.2), the files you would need to look at are: /etc/cups/mime.convs /etc/cups/mime.types I expect it's the same across recent versions (8.2 onwards). In mime.convs, edit as root and uncomment the line #application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - In mime.types, uncomment #application/octet-stream Then issue rccups restart ..and hopefully it will work.
