Per PWG 5107.2:

Conforming implementations of this specification SHOULD use IANA Printer MIB Interpreter Types (primary) or MIME Media Types (secondary) instead of private types, for interoperability.


The current IANA Printer MIB (http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaprinter-mib/ianaprinter-mib) has the following:

PrtInterpreterLangFamilyTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
...
        langPWGRaster(84),   -- Not in RFC 1759
                             -- PWG 5102.4: PWG Raster Format
                             -- ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/candidates/
                             --   cs-ippraster10-20120420-5102.4.pdf
                             -- MIME type "image/pwg-raster"
which means that the CMD field SHOULD contain either 'PWGRaster' (preferred) or 'image/pwg-raster'.
