> Subject: LPRng: "null" converter in ifhp?
> Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 15:00:30 -0600
> From: John Perkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
> There was some discussion at LISA 2001 about a "null" converter for ifhp--a
> converter to catch any and all file types not covered under the explicit
> conversion rules. That way, when ifhp runs the GNU file utility and realized
> it's dealing with a raw MS-Word document and has no rule to deal with that, a
> ruleset exists to exit. As of right now, such files will sit in the queue,
> preventing other jobs from getting processed, for a long, long time.
>
> If anyone (Patrick?) has an ifhp.conf entry for this, please send it on.
> Patrick was speculating at the LISA printing BOF that this may have been a
> "null_converter", but I can find no reference to such a construct in the ifhp
> source code (either 3.4.4, which we run here, or the latest 3.5.1 available
> today).

You can do:
file_output_match = [
*ps* ps \%s{ps_converter}
*postscript* ps \%s{ps_converter}
*pjl* pjl \%s{pjl_converter}
* msg no_converter
]
ps_no_converter = %!PS-Adobe-3.0
/Courier
findfont 10 scalefont setfont
72 500 moveto
(No conversion available for type '\%s{file_output}') show
showpage
no_converter = No conversion available for type '\%s{file_output}'
This will cause the appropriate string to be sent to STDOUT.
