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.
- -D
- Delete the input file after conversion.
- -U user
- Specifies the username passed to the filters. The default is the name of the current user.
- -c config-file
- Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.
- -d printer

- -e
- Use every filter from the PPD file.
- -i mime/type
- Specifies the source file type. The default file type is guessed using the
filename and contents of the 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.
