the moved a couple versions back to here:

don't forget to cycle the daemon after an edit.
> I keep a virtual desktop on a Server 2008 R2 environment that I connect from Mac 10.7. I have a brother MFC 7340 (lion cups driver) that I'd like to print to locally via the redirect function. I have the 64 bit driver installed (and the brother generic pcl5e driver as an alternative) and I can confirm that the remote session passes the file to the local mac. In the printer queue on the mac, I get the dreaded "can't convert postscript file" I'm a finance guy, not a tech guy, but I can see that the issue MIGHT have something to do with unix security when passing a raw file to CUPS. two articles suggested a modification to the
> /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/mime.conv file. HOWEVER, those files don't exist and I tried making the modification to the closest looking files to those names, which I admit is a little stupid.
