I'm running Kubuntu 18.04.3, and I had no trouble adding a raw queue with CUPS. Installed package version is 2.2.7-1ubuntu2.7, which apt-cache shows is the latest.
Manufacturer is "Raw", and the only available model is "Raw queue". We use it for our label printers, since we're sending ZPL directly to the printers, and we don't want CUPS to try to reinterpret the commands. We also send raw Postscript to our laser printers.
