Do you mean mime.convs and mime.types? I have not changed any of them (i.e. the 
# is still in front of application/octet-stream) and I don't have option -oraw 
in printer setup.

I have no further advice since this should work OK. Only comment I may add is 
that in order to prevent raw file printing you should comment 
application/octet-stream in mime.types which is the way it has always been.
