gnome-print-filter is a library for dealing with PostScript encoding filters in a way similar to how the PostScript language itself deals with them. It works with gnome-print.

It is Copyright (c) 2001 by Scott Gifford, and is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 2 or later). See the included file COPYING for more information about your rights when using this software, and your responsibilities when distributing modified versions.

It was written by Scott Gifford , based on the filter code from gnome-print (by Chema Celorio ) and from the Perl module Text::PDF::Filter (by Martin Hosken ). While they deserve some of the credit for this good parts of this library, they deserve none of the blame for the bad parts. They may or may not know that this package even exists, so please don't email them with questions.
