Thanks, I've read that already, that's how I've got this far :) All those filter examples require a PPD. I don't have a PPD. That's why my original question is asking for a PPD file to use for a raw printer. The printer is an IBM 4247 dot-matrix.

So, again, How do I define a cupsfilter for a raw printer on a per queue basis with or without a ppd file? If with a PPD, where can I get a minimal PPD file that will perform the same as a raw printer, but with the ability to call a cups filter?
