cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters

cupsfilter [ -c config-file] [ -e ] -j job-id[,N][ -m mime/type] [ -n copies] [ -o name=value] [ -p filename.ppd] [ -t title] filename

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, cupsfilter generates a PDF file.

• -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.

cupsfilter currently does not use the filters defined in the PPD file. This will be addressed in a future CUPS release.
