YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!  (since I'm too lazy to turn on html)

Tilghman comes through again! _Manufacturer "RAW"_ I have always used "Generic." No more!

Still gonna keep Ubuntu 16.04 on some systems...

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.

Today's gripe is that Ubuntu 18.04 / CUPS (and others I am quite sure) [
has | have ] dropped support for a Generid Printer, Raw Queue.  This
means that the dot matrix printer (remember them?) that I use to print
two part checks does not play nice in Ubuntu 18.04.  Still does in 16.04.

I'm looking at a GitHub entry dated March 19, 2018 where said removal is
discussed in the Apple/CUPS dominion.  "Almost every printer
manufactured since 2010 supports IPP/2.0 with standard file formats.

Progress is not always kind.
