mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups
<h2><a name='DESCRIPTION'>Description</a></h2>
The <i>mime.convs</i> 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.
<p>Additional filters can be added to the <i>mime.convs</i> file or
(preferably) to other files in the CUPS configuration directory.
<p>Each line in the <i>mime.convs</i> 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:
