[cups.general] eps printing broken

[David Bishop]

No, they have never printed out.  And by 'directly to the printer', do you 
mean via netcat, or via cups w/out any filtering?  Ideally, I would like to 
be able to have users send eps files via lp, without anything else needed on 
their part.  I assumed (incorrectly?) that cups would do any filtering 
necessary without further tweaking.  If that is *not* the case, then how 
would I go about adding something that says 'if incoming file is eps, run 
ps2ps on it'?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, I have been banging my head on this for 
weeks and I am probably missing something obvious.
