Additional Conversion Filters

A conversion filter converts text files to PostScript format. The filter's programs are trusted programs that are run by the printer daemon. Files that are converted to PostScript format by any installed filter program can be trusted to have authentic labels and banner and trailer page text.

Solaris software provides most conversion filters that a site needs. A site's System Administrator role can install additional filters. These filters can then be trusted to have authentic labels, and banner and trailer pages. To add conversion filters, see Chapter 7, Customizing LP Printing Services and Printers (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Printing.
