NAME

       mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups

DESCRIPTION

       The mime.convs file defines the filters that are available for convert-
       ing 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.
       Comment lines start with the #  character.  Filter  lines  specify  the
       source and destination MIME types along with a relative cost associated
       with the filter and the filter to run:

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