yes. RAW requests do not go through the usual CUPS print system and so page 
accounting can't be done. RAW always counts as 1 page. also note that if your 
printer jams during a print job, CUPS will still count the pages even if they 
didn't print. so even w/out RAW, your CUPS totals can only ever be 
approximate, not relied upon as exact.

good news is that there are native Windows drivers for CUPS now. they are 
non-free, but freely redistributable. there was just recently a HUGE thread 
on kde-promo about these drivers and including them on KDE's Knoppix-based 
live demo CD. RMS was, naturally, against it but the pragmatics in the crowd 
(most KDE people =) saw it is a good thing. 

anyways, look for the native Windows CUPS drivers (you can export them to your 
Samba server like any Windows driver, apparently..) and you should get 
semi-accurate ;-) page accounting..
