How to print in "raw" mode in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Issue
- We have a printer that needs to receive the information from PDF files in raw mode so it can be interpreted by the printer.
- The application that we use has formatting codes built in. How do we keep CUPS from changing those codes.
- Our vendor has told us to disable CUPS filtering, how do we do this?
- Our application is using a certain format to send characters/data to the printer that is already in a PCL format, how do we use CUPS to ensure print jobs are sent correctly without filtering?
- We have Windows print queues set up to manage our network printers. How do I set up a raw print queue in RHEL to send print jobs to the Windows queues? I would prefer to use the command line versus a GUI tool.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- CUPS printing system
