cupsfilter − convert a file to another format using cups filters
cupsfilter [ -c config-file ] [ -d printer ] [ -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.
-d printer
Uses information from the named printer.
-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.
