*.types, *.convs, filters, and cupsFilter

[Paul]

The issue seems to spawn from PCL jobs being marked as vnd.cups-raw.  I'm guessing there is something in cups that says, if in this format don't transform any more as I have been able to get around it by editing mime.types and mime.convs with the following:
mime.types
application/vnd.cups-pcl        (string(0,<1B>E) + !string(2,<1B>%0B)) \
                                string(0,<1B>@) \
                                (contains(0,128,<1B>%-12345X) + \
                                 (contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE=PCL") \
                                  contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE = PCL")))
application/vnd.cups-raw

mime.convs
application/vnd.cups-pcl        application/vnd.cups-raw        0       -

so this way it will autoconvert back to raw unless using my PPD that wants it to run through my filter.

Am I correct in my assumption about vnd.cups-raw?  anyone have better ideas than what I've done?  not terribly keen on editing the mime files since they start with DO NOT ADD TO THIS FILE


> sparing you all the long sad story as to the why, here is what I'm trying to accomplish.  I want CUPS to ALWAYS call a filter script, regardless of type.  it's working well except when I send a pcl type job, according to the mime.types as well as the c* file, it is matching as type application/vnd.cups-raw.  I can make this model work by commenting out that type from mime.types, but I really don't want to.  Ideas?  Here is my current config.  paultest is my filter name.  Eventually i'm going to fine tune my types, but I did the hand of god approach first to just try and catch them all.
