This means that PPR connected to the JetDirect card, sent a command that
means "I have a job for the printer RAW", but received no response.

I have only seen this once before.  It involved a Ricoh printer.  It
would malfunction in this way if one used any printer name other than
"LPT1".

The printer name "RAW" sounds right to me, but you might want to verify
the printer name in your manual.  If they give a sample /etc/printcap
entry, I think you will find it under "rp=".
