SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

cupsfilter<\/b> [ \u2212\u2212list\u2212filters<\/b> ] [ \u2212D<\/b> ] [ \u2212U<\/b> user<\/i> ] [ \u2212c<\/b> config-file<\/i> ] [ \u2212d<\/b> printer<\/i> ] [ \u2212e<\/b> ] [ \u2212i<\/b> mime\/type<\/i> ] [ \u2212j<\/b> job-id[,N]<\/i> ] [ \u2212m<\/b> mime\/type<\/i> ] [ \u2212n<\/b> copies<\/i> ] [ \u2212o<\/b> name=value<\/i> ] [ \u2212p<\/b> filename.ppd<\/i> ] [ \u2212t<\/b> title<\/i> ] [ \u2212u<\/b> ] filename<\/i><\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

cupsfilter<\/b><\/i> 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<\/b> generates a PDF file. The converted file is sent to the standard output.<\/p>\n

OPTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

\u2212U<\/b> user<\/i><\/p>\n

Specifies the username passed to the filters. The default is the name of the current user.<\/p>\n

\u2212m<\/b> mime\/type<\/i><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

All of the standard cups<\/b>(1) environment variables affect the operation of cupsfilter<\/b>.<\/p>\n

FILES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

\/etc\/cups\/lxx74.convs \/etc\/cups\/pstotiff.convs

NOTES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

CUPS printer drivers, filters, and backends are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS. Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as ippeveprinter<\/b>(1).<\/p>\n

Unlike when printing, filters run using the cupsfilter<\/b> command use the current user and security session. This may result in different output or unexpected behavior.<\/p>\n

EXAMPLE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The following command will generate a PDF preview of job 42 for a printer named “myprinter” and save it to a file named “preview.pdf”:<\/p>\n

cupsfilter -m application\/pdf -d myprinter -j 42 >preview.pdf<\/p>\n
