[cups.general] Postscript file coming out wrong.

[Alex Finch]

  The application that produces this file is a venerable CERN product (PAW), and 
probably predates the definiton of DSC by Adobe, but it is still in regular use 
in particle physics throughout the world. I have already found a workaround 
which is similar to what you suggest, namely I created a
paw.types
  which contains

#
# special definition for paw generate ps files
#
application/paw                 ps eps   (contains(0,1024,"%%Creator: 
HIGZ")+(string(0,%!),string(0,<04>%!)))

and a
paw.convs
which contains

#
# special conversion for paw files
#
application/paw         application/vnd.cups-postscript 66      -

  i.e. I just copy the file untouched by pstops to the printer if it was 
produced by "HIGZ". All our printers print on A4 so that is not a problem.
