I understand that filter texttopaps is responsible converting text to postscript
on cups 1.3. I have tried to change texttopaps to texttops on 
/etc/cups/mime.conv
but to no avail. 

I have tried the paps binary itself and was able to convert small-hello.utf8 to 
small-hello.ps and printed out just fine with lp command. 

Not sure is ghostscript needs some tweaking as we needed to do on cups 1.1 to 
print chinese. 

Below are some concerned errors from error_log.
