Hello!

I could catch one spool file from a client from the spool folder of the Cups Server. It seems to be, like expected, a Postscript file.

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%cupsJobTicket: job-hold-until=no-hold
%cupsJobTicket: job-sheets=none,none
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Title: (Microsoft Word - Prozessmodelle der \304KWL auf Basis von iGrafx - User Guide V1.2.doc)

and so on ...

/Pscript_WinNT_Full /ProcSet findresource dup /terminate get exec
ehsave restore
%%Pages: 3
(%%[LastPage]%%) =
%%EOF

But the pages are still count with only "1" and the error_log report of cups still says it's a

"D [28/May/2007:19:25:30 +0200] [Job 16] envp[20]="CONTENT_TYPE=application/vnd.cups-raw"

output mime format. I use the normal mime.type file of cups.

The Cups version is 1.2.04.
