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 configura-
       tion 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
