bug.

I thought to open a bug about this so developers can definitively say whether
this is actually a bug or if the agreement is that it's up to the Linux side to
do something about this (convert back from PS to ascii or something).

Raw printing is useful for those applications which expect the printer to
receive their pre-formatted data as is: apps which output PCL directly, label
printer software, ....

Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Create a raw printer queue in Linux/ubuntu which points to a NON PS printer
(ie: pure PCL or text printer).
- Run
        $ echo ABCD | lpr -P raw_queue
and see that the printer prints ABCD.
- Then run
        $ wine notepad.exe
        Type ABCD
        Print to the raw_queue
and see that the printer prints the PostScript data produced by Wine even if
the Linux queue is defined as raw.
