cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters
(deprecated)
cupsfilter [ --list-filters ] [ -D ] [ -U user ] [ -c config-file
] [ -d printer ] [ -e ] [ -i mime/type ] [ -j job-id[,N] ] [ -m
mime/type ] [ -n copies ] [ -o name=value ] [ -p filename.ppd ] [
-t title ] [ -u ] filename
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. The converted file is sent to the standard
output.
--list-filters
Do not actually run the filters, just print the filters used
to stdout.
-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 cups-files.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,
document 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.
-u Delete the PPD file after conversion.
cupsfilter returns a non-zero exit status on any error.
All of the standard cups(1) environment variables affect the
operation of cupsfilter.

CUPS printer drivers, filters, and backends are deprecated and
will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS.
Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using
applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
Unlike when printing, filters run using the cupsfilter command
use the current user and security session. This may result in
different output or unexpected behavior.
The following command will generate a PDF preview of job 42 for a
printer named "myprinter" and save it to a file named
"preview.pdf":
cupsfilter -m application/pdf -d myprinter -j 42 >preview.pdf
