As *nix printer scripts get "smarter", they try to "help" the user by 
interjecting their own printer codes into the data stream to format the 
output.  When the data has already been formatted, you need to tell the 
script "send this data as-is to the printer" with the "-o raw" flag.

Note that the Windows version of filePro does the same thing when using the 
"WIN:printername" destination syntax, by telling the Windows spooler that 
the data type is "RAW".
