[STR New]

I am trying to specify the path for a CUPS filter from my PPD file where
the name of the folder where the filter is contains a space.

It does not work in these trials:
*cupsFilter "application/vnd.cups-raster 100 myFilter"
CUPS looks for my filter in /usr/libexec/cups/filter, and of course can't
find it.

*cupsFilter "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 /Library/Printers/Vendor
International/myFilter"
CUPS tries to use the 'filter' in "/Library/Printers/Vendor", which of
course fails.

*cupsFilter "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 /Library/Printers/Vendor\
International/myFilter
CUPS tries to use the 'filter' "/Library/Printers/Kodak\", which also
fails.

*cupsFilter "application/vnd.cups-raster 0
/Library/Printers/Vendor%20International/myFilter
, it also fails

Is there a way to leave the space in? I have a manufacturer name that has
space in it. example: Vendor International Corp.
