    Well as I stated earlier, when I set the printer driver to Raw Queue then I
    cannot print anything from linux locally (though networked Windows
    connections appear to work).

    The solution seems to be to create two queues - one for local printing with
    the correct Canon driver and one for networked Windows (and other shared)
    printing with the Raw Queue. This seems to have the right behavior, but it
    seems wrong that I should need to set up multiple queues to the same printer
    with different driver sets to get linux and Windows machines to print to it.

    Thanks for all your help guys!

    This isn't really the right way to do it if you're using
    redhat-config-printer -- instead, set a queue to be raw ('Generic' ->
    'Raw Print Queue' as the model).
