[cups] Sending mail from a CentOS7 virtual machine to Fuji Xerox ApeosPort-IV C4475 problem revisted

[Zdenek Dohnal]

Hi Ian,

I'm sorry, but now IMHO I'm not able to help you further - I'm not able
to find where fxauth filter sources are (there isn't such filter created
by sources at https://github.com/rogers0/fxlinuxprint , it seems at
least). Maybe Gernot would be able to help further, since he has
experience with the fxlinuxprint sw.

But my simple guess would be to investigate what actually is in these
files created by filtering, but they seems to be a special format (these
created by fxlinuxprint filters), so I think usual means (opening in gs
or pdf viewer) will not work.
