In the cups log I see ...
I [25/May/2007:22:37:04 -0400] File of type text/plain queued in job #32 by "adam".
I [25/May/2007:22:37:04 -0400] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 3051) for job 32.
I [25/May/2007:22:37:04 -0400] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd (PID 3052) for job 32.
I [25/May/2007:22:37:04 -0400] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/texttopaps (PID 3053) for job 32.
I [25/May/2007:22:37:04 -0400] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 3054) for job 32.
But my cups-lpd for xinetd.d looks like -
service printer
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = lp
server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
server_args = cups-lpd -o raw
}
So why are things getting processed/filtered? How under 1.2.x can I make job filtering ***STOP***?
