I have been testing Don Badrak's pdfraw filter script on a RHEL5.2 system (CUPS v1.2.4) installed under VMware and have run into a problem I have been unable to resolve, namely, the filter works fine for PDF files but others fail with
Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!
for example, when trying to print a test page from the CUPS web interface, or:
cat /etc/hosts | lp -d npc_hpdj_c_1
lp: Unsupported format 'text/plain'!
when trying to print a simple text file.
The first two lines of the PPD file are:
*PPD-Adobe: "4.3"
*cupsFilter: "application/pdf 0 pdfraw"
If I comment out the second line and restart cupsd, it works fine for the two examples given but does not handle PDF files properly (as expected).
Questions:
1. What am I missing here in setting this up?
2. What can I do about it to make it work for all file types?
Thank you,
Lucky Leavell
