OSX Lion Unable to Print Raw

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi.
I'm having problems to print a simple (and the first) test with jZebra.
I'm using OSX Lion (Cups 1.6) and a TLP 2844.
When I try to print something I receive this error message in Cups:

Unable to convert PostScript file

But my content is simple text, like:

   <script type="text/javascript">
      function print() {
         var applet = document.jZebra;
         if (applet != null) {
            applet.append("I8,A,003\n");
            applet.append("Q799,024\n");
            applet.append("q800\n");
            applet.append("rN\n");
            applet.append("S4\n");
            applet.append("D10\n");
            applet.append("ZT\n");
            applet.append("JF\n");
            applet.append("R16,0\n");
            applet.append("N\n");
            applet.append("A733,373,2,2,2,2,N,\"TEST\"\n");
            applet.print();
         }
      }
   </script>

   <applet name="jZebra" code="jzebra.PrintApplet.class" archive="./jzebra.jar" width="100" height="100">
      <param name="printer" value="zebra">
      <!-- <param name="sleep" value="200"> -->
   </applet><br><br>

   <input type=button onClick="print()" value="Print"><br>

Where is the problem? If I send the same EPL commands by terminal it prints 
fine.
Thanks.

The CUPS tutorial seems to be having problems for USB attached devices.  I 
think the EPL2 driver is needed to operate properly, but I don't know what 
effect this will have on jZebra.

Version 1.4.7 and higher adds experimental support for printing via CUPS 
command line.

Try parameter:  document.jzebra.useAlternatePrinting(true);

Need confirmation if this is working or not.

I'm afraid I never got it working with USB, but when you use it as a network 
printer, OS X has no issues sending it raw content.

I believe this was caused by confusion from the tutorial.

Please see the revised tutorial and follow it closely and report back the 
progress.  USB is working fine on OSX 10.8.3 attached USB to a Zebra LP 2844.

Please read this tutorial (it has been completely re-written for OSX 10.8)

• Changed state: Started
• Removed labels: Type-Defect

I've also confirmed "useAlternatePrinting()" works via cups command line.  
Marking bug as closed/fixed.  Please reopen if you feel this bug was closed in 
error.

Here's what the console says when I use alternate printing:

/usr/bin/lp -d "zebra" -o raw "/tmp/jzebra-spool-1370714502354"

A label comes out every time, so this is proof that the alternate printing 
option works fine.
