[STR New]
In CUPS 1.5.3 "man cupsfilter" reads:
-------------------------------------------
-e
Use every filter from the PPD file.
....
-m mime/type
Specifies the destination file type.
The default file type is application/pdf.
Use printer/foo to convert to the printer
format defined by the filters in the PPD file.
....
KNOWN ISSUES
cupsfilter currently does not use the filters
defined in the PPD file. This will be addressed
in a future CUPS release.
-------------------------------------------
But at least for me it seems
$ /usr/sbin/cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/hplaserjet1220ljet4.ppd \
-e -m printer/foo /etc/fstab >/tmp/cupsfilter.out
works to create printer specific data as defined in the PPD
(here PCL using the Ghosscript driver ljet4).
Furthermore calling "/usr/sbin/cupsfilter" results
....
-u Remove the PPD file when finished.
....
but there is no option "-u" mentioned in the man page.
Perhaps there are more issues in the cupsfilter man page...
Of course same issues in the online documentation
