Re: [Epsonepl-users] RAW printing to EPL-5900L?

[Hin-Tak L. <hin...@ya...>]

This is a CUPS question. You need to create a new
print-quene which does raw pass-throughs. On
lpr/lprng-based system raw pass-through is the
default (it is on my system), unless one configures
the filtering systems. Please read your CUPS documentation.

Most probably when you create a new printe queue under CUPS,
there is a "raw" option for "what driver to use".
