SYNOPSIS

       cupsfilter  [ -D ] [ -U user ] [ -c config-file ] [ -d printer ] [ -e ]
       [ -i mime/type ] [ -j job-id[,N] ] [ -m mime/type ] [ -n copies ] [  -o

DESCRIPTION

       cupsfilter is a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which allows you
       to convert a file to a specific format, just as if you had printed  the
       file through CUPS. By default, cupsfilter generates a PDF file.


OPTIONS

       -D
            Delete the input file after conversion.

       -U user
            Specifies  the  username passed to the filters. The default is the
            name of the current user.

       -c config-file
            Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.

       -d printer
            Uses information from the named printer.

       -e
            Use every filter from the PPD file.

       -i mime/type
            Specifies the source file type. The default file type  is  guessed
            using the filename and contents of the file.

       -j job-id[,N]
            Converts document N from the specified job. If N is omitted, docu-
            ment 1 is converted.

       -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.

       -n copies
            Specifies the number of copies to generate.

       -o name=value
            Specifies options to pass to the CUPS filters.

       -p filename.ppd
            Specifies the PPD file to use.

       -t title
            Specifies the document title.
