SYNOPSIS
cupsfilter [ -c config-file ] [ -e ] -j job-id[,N] [ -m
mime/type ] [ -n copies ] [ -o name=value ] [ -p file-
name.ppd ] [ -t title ] filename
DESCRIPTION
cupsfilter is a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which
allows you to convert a file to a specific format, just as
if you had printed the file through CUPS. By default, cups-
filter generates a PDF file.
OPTIONS
-c config-file
Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.
-e
Use every filter from the PPD file.
-j job-id[,N]
Converts document N from the specified job. If N is
omitted, document 1 is converted.
-m mime/type
Specifies the destination file type. The default file
type is application/pdf. Use printer/foo to convert to
the printer format defined by the filters in the PPD
file.
-n copies
Specifies the number of copies to generate.
-o name=value
Specifies options to pass to the CUPS filters.
-p filename.ppd
Specifies the PPD file to use.
-t title
Specifies the document title.
KNOWN ISSUES
cupsfilter currently does not use the filters defined in the
PPD file. This will be addressed in a future CUPS release.
