NAME
cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters
SYNOPSIS
cupsfilter [ -c config-file ] [ -m mime/type ] [ -n copies ] [ -o name=value ] [ -p filename.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, cupsfilter generates a PDF file.
OPTIONS
| -c config-file | |
| Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file. | |
| -m mime/type | |
| Specifies the destination file type. The default file type is application/pdf. | |
| -n copies | |
| Specifies the number of copies to generate. | |
| -o name=value | |

| -p filename.ppd | |
| Specifies the PPD file to use. | |
| -t title | |
