Filer order.

Hi,
I tried to figure out what order a particular driver executes filters (the once down in lib/cups/filter). If I in a ppd add a filter say (its the only filter in the ppd -- the ppd is for a HP 8550 via hpijs) :
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 toGray"
Well it does execute the filter but not first and surly not last either (or at least it doesn't look like it). It's in the middle along a string of filters that the driver uses. However I can't find where the order or the filters are actually defined. Maybe I'm out dreaming in the blue sky ;) but it would be good to know where I could start looking at least.... I want my filter to be executed first as a prefilter on the incoming Postscript or just after a filter producing the first postscript if we for example print a text file.
Any tip ideas pointers are would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Dyna
