+CUPS printer drivers, filters, and backends are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS.
+Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as
+<b>ippeveprinter</b>(1).
+<p>Unlike when printing, filters run using the
+<b>cupsfilter</b>
+command use the current user and security session. This may result in different output or unexpected behavior.
+<h2 class="title"><a name="EXAMPLE">Example</a></h2>
+The following command will generate a PDF preview of job 42 for a printer named "myprinter" and save it to a file named "preview.pdf":
+<pre class="man">
+
+ cupsfilter -m application/pdf -d myprinter -j 42 >preview.pdf
