Ok, ok. I try find the solving and on this site. But I imply not Foomatic
"driver" but
imagetops filter which not support many image formats.

Yes. You are right. But some users like to directly print their files as
lpr some-ms-word.doc some.rtf ... :(
and these jobs print as raw. How we can protect us in this situation using
CUPS? I think that we can write some filter which will reject such jobs.
May be already exist a way which solve this.
Thanx.
