Oh, I forgot: insert "-o name=value" as often as neededto the cupsfilter command
where name is the name of the option you use to specify the media, and value
is the desired value, such as "-o mediatype=plain" etc.

 From the current example, though the input is not DSC compliant, it should work
correctly.

Sorry for having not mentioned this earlier.
