these applications.

NOTE: The HP Jetdirect print server treats text files as unformatted text or ASCII files. Raw
files are formatted files in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 printer languages.
If the queue type is binps, the PostScript interpreter is instructed to interpret the print job as
binary PostScript data.
