[Bug 17894] New: Raw printing does not work

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17894

Summary: Raw printing does not work
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.18
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

System:
        Ubuntu 8.04 
        Wine 1.1.18 (binary from WineHQ APT Repository)

I googled, asked on the web forum and searched bugzilla, but no one had a
definitive answer about this issue, ie a way to get raw printing working from
Wine.
> From here http://wiki.winehq.org/Printing it's not clear it it's considered a

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.
