In this chapter, we have discussed the architecture of the CUPS filtering system. It includes identifying and filtering various file formats, which helps to get print output. The CUPS filtering system has two configuration files mime.types
and mime.convs
, which we discussed in detail. Though CUPS can only natively understand the PostScript format, there are other filtering systems that help CUPS to work with non-PostScript printer models. In the end, we saw a detailed diagram of the CUPS printing process.
