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 (preferably) to other files in the  CUPS  configuration  direc-
       tory.

       Each  line  in  the mime.convs 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
