And this is always true?  Then for printing to a Linux-hosted printer
from Windows, we always need octet-stream available as an allowed
mime-type.  I suppose that samba always queues the data with '-o raw'.

I'll ask the CUPS folk if there is a downside to always enabling the
octet-stream mime-type.

Thanks for your explanation.
