Matthias,
the filter seems to work correctly; I’ll send it to you together with a description
(on how to set up xxx.types and xxx.convs for use this filter) to <guru at unixarea.de>,
as this list only seems to accept txt files as attachments.

BTW, the KONIKA MINOLTA C360 seems to support PCL5e / PCL5cbut not plain PCL3.
From my own experience (some years old) with this printer(s) is that its PostScript
interpreter works reasonable well.
