RPi Printer Server without CUPS driver

[chorlton2080]

Hello Folks

Can anyone explain how to configure CUPS to print to my unsupported (Canon LBP2900i) laser printer using the source computer's Windows driver? I'm expecting that it should be possible to simply pass-through the raw data unchanged to the printer connected to the RPI's USB port. It may be that there are alternatives to CUPS that may be better given this fairly basic need.

Thanks in advance
