Thanks for your answer. It is unfortunately *not* always in postscript
form. Your idea of piping through the psselect program which is in the
psutils package is nice for postscript files, but how do I make this
for other files?

I use GNOME, but "Printing" is only a GUI for the CUPS server which
can be installed on a machine, isn't it? Consequently, if you can find
it in your CUPS server, I should be able to find it too. However, it
is still unreachable. I have looked thoroughly at all the options, but
aren't they PPD-dependent?
Thanks.
