If a post-filter is what I think it is, then it is probably not much use
to me, since I need the job data as-is, that is, in its original form
(mostly Postscript) rather than printer language.
Pre-filter is also a little problematic unless the gziptoany filter
becomes such a (configurable) pre-filter - my filter is after gzip, but
before any printer language conversion, so that I can assure that input
is mostly postscript, text/plain or image/something.
