This is inelegant and stress inducing :(. The file to be sent to the
printer should be in a form which the printer can understand and process
if it gets it. So here is a more suitable technique.
Take any text or PDF file (testfile) and do
/usr/sbin/cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/HP-Photosmart-3300-series.ppd
-e -m printer/HP-Photosmart-3300-series
testfile > data
This command line has been broken. Everything should be all on one line.
The content of "data" is something your printer should be happy with
(unlike a raw text or PDF file).
Then continue with
DEVICE_URI=dnssd://Photosmart%203300%20series%20%5B8B0243%5D._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
/usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd 1 1 1 1 "" data
