Why do you need to bypass CUPS? |

If you have a raw print stream, just ensure you have |
| 11 |
application/octet-stream enabled. To do this, simply cd to /etc/cups |
| 12 |
on the machine that owns the printer(s) and edit mime.convs and |
| 13 |
mime.types. You will easily see the octet-stream support near the |
| 14 |
bottom of each of these files. |
