Chad,

I believe you may be correct. We have been doing some research and it 
appears that different UNIX boxes handle it differently. Even the ability to 
turn raw on and off. I will have more information shortly.

Curious.... I had this same problem when sending jobs (raw text, no print
codes) through TCP/IP Print Services, but did not have the problem at all
when sending via Window Print Sharing.  Same printer, same queue.  This
makes me think that TCP/IP Print Services screws with the print job before
it makes it to the spooler.

I'm not saying that's the case, as I'm not real sure, I just know what
happened and what I did to correct it.  It's been a while since I've studied
routing of print jobs at the lower level in the Windows world.  Nor do I
know how TCP/IP Print Services fits in to that.
