[cups.general] Printing MS Word files

[Naveen]

Hi all

I have developed a custom backend and backend.conf and a global .ppd file. I
have associated it with CUPS and installed it with a new printer name. It is
working fine when I print any MS Office file by opening it or by right click
option. But when I try to print MS office files using command line i.e.
using the following command

 lp -d <PRINTER> msword.doc 

it gives me a 0KB ps file. When I saw cups error-log it shows content type =
"application/octet-stream" 

 

but when I print same file on same printer using drag-drop its content type
is "application/pdf" 

 

I am using MAC OS X machine. Please let me know if somebody has an idea.



Best regards,

Naveen...
