NAME
     mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups

DESCRIPTION
     The  mime.convs  file defines the filters that are available for converting
     files from one format to another. The standard filters support  text,  PDF,
     PostScript, HP-GL/2, and many types of image files.

     Additional filters can be added to the mime.convs file or to other files in
     the configuration directory (/etc/cups) with the extension ".convs".

     Each  line in the mime.types file is a comment, blank, or filter line. Com-
     ment lines start with the # character. Filter lines specify the source  and
     destination  MIME types along with a relative cost associated with the fil-
     ter and the filter to run:

     super/type super/type cost filter
     application/postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 50 pstoraster
