Hi,

 when I print a image file(.bmp) using the lp command, MIME type of the spool file is image/x-bitmap. But if we give the print from a application like gimp, MIME type of the spool file is application/postscript.

 Why scheduler is converting the original data(bmp) to PS form when we print from a application. Can we avoid the conversion of data from bmp form to postscript form.

Thanks,
Sateesh.
