I need a filter that produces postscript (5.x) only. Which filter in
CUPS do that?
Why? - I want to use a samsung gdi printer installed under Suse 9.2 on a
Suse 8.2 machine. CUPS intelligent browsing function doesn't work
because Suse 8.2 with cups-1.1.18 sometimes generates thousands of
same printers in /etc/cups/printers.conf (endless loop). Browsing
printer queues is disabled for this reason. So I want to make printer
queue for Suse8.2 that produces postscript only, the I write a specific
backend e.g. /usr/lib/cups/mybackend that includes
cat - > lp -h rex3 -d samsung
