I have spent 2 days trying to get a filter to work in cups that will automaticlly convert all jobs from pcl to ps using ghostpcl.
I have application on sco box that produces PCL output that wont print on hp 2600n. However when it is converted to ps it prints OK.
We have limited acccess to the sco box so we are using cups on a FC5 linux box to solve the problem.
This is what I have so far:
filter script to convert PCL file using ghostpcl
PCLtoPS
=======
#! /bin/bash
# see
http://localhost:631/spm.html#WRITING_FILTERS# debug info in /var/log/cups/error_log
set -x
pcl6 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE $6

I have a working prinit queue in cups using HP Color LaserJet 2600n Foomatic/foo2hp ppd.
filter refernce for cups
