Oleg , thanks for the info , however what I am trying to do or more accurate
need to do is slightly different:
I am getting a pdf file which I need to convert to PCL printed file, and not
sent directly to the printer , because it has to be pipe
to another program or to be more precise to be put in a folder where another
process (another spooler , no CUPS ) will grab from there.
So, no it is not a PS file that I need to create from the PDF but a PCL file.
Why I am using CUPS ? because I have learned it knows to that conversion
very well except for the fact that it will send it directly to a printer and I
need
it as pcl file, ready to be printed.
I hope that better clarify my problem I am trying to solve.( Solved in
MS/windows :) ).
Best Regards,
Israel Shikler

I am not sure I understand this. In my mind, "printing to a file" is
equivalent to converting the original file into PostScript. Is this
what you are trying to do? Why do you insist on CUPS/lpr?
What format is the original file in?
Look at the man pages for ImageMagick(1) and convert(1) (one of the
tools from ImageMagick). The former yields a rather long list of
formats it understands, and the latter can convert between any two
formats.
