How to insert multiple filters for one application type in Mime.convs

Hi There,

I have a question regarding the mime.convs file - if you might be able to help me that'd be much appreciated.

I have my mime.types file set up properly, and the mime.convs file is forwarding my print jobs to the proper filter based on the application type - ie. I have 'application/foo' being filtered in the mime.types file based on a search string in the document, and I have 'application/foo' defined in my mime.convs file which calls a filter 'filter1_2ps'.

I want to be able to call a second filter now in mime.convs for 'application/foo' (such as 'filter2_ps') but adding a new line doesn't work.  Nor does separating the filters by comma. If i simple add a new line, only the first filter gets executed, and if I add a comma, the jobs fails completely.

Has anybody had any experience with adding multiple filters for a single application type in the mime.convs file before?  If it can't be done, does anybody know of any other methods that I could try?

If this is confusing please let me know.

Thanks,

Clyde
