I wonder if some programs generate binary postscript files, and cups
thinks they are 'raw' and dumps them as if they were native raw printer
commands.  Not sure why that would be given it seems to work fine here
from the programs I have used and I have cups with raw support (so
samba, etc can work with windows users.)

Which programs cause problems?  Does the output postscript look like
ascii postscript or binary junk?

What are the first few lines of the postscript?
