**NOTE**
if you print various types of jobs through this device, You will probably have to make a custom mime.type and mime.convs to force them all to use the dummy filter. you would also have to alter the ppd. that PPD is assuming that all jobs coming through are of type text/plain.
i.e.
dummy.types
application/dummy
dummy.convs
