I think "rw" is the printer capability to use.

Here is an example I use:

raw:\
        :rw:sh: \
        :lp=/dev/lp0: \
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw: \
        :mx#0:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
        :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
        :fx=flp:\
        :sf:

It prints directly without a filter. (My wife uses some hard-to-use
operating system that sends her email via SMB to our print server; the
printer content is already to use, so it uses this "raw" printer.)
