"gs -?" will return a lot of information about ghostscript. But you
should be able to do this with GNU-ghostscript as well. IIRC, you have
to tell cups to accept the print job in "raw" form. In
/etc/cups/mime.convs look for:
# Raw filter...
#
# Uncomment the following filter and the application/octet-stream type
# in mime.types to allow printing of arbitrary files without the -oraw
# option.
#
#
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0
Make sure the line above is uncommented. And in /etc/cups/mime.types:
# Raw print file support...
#
# Uncomment the following type and the application/octet-stream
# filter line in mime.convs to allow raw file printing without the
# -oraw option.
#
application/octet-stream
Make sure the above line is uncommented. Restart cups and try again.
