I want to print a .eps file to a pdf file using cups.
I have done a basic install along with printer-driver-cups-pdf and printer-driver-all (I assume one covers the other, but included for clarity)
I have also configured a pdf printer in the ui which I've named cups_pdf.
printf "hello world" | lp -d cups_pdf
that command seems to work as I get a pdf in my ~/PDF folder with the content hello world.
however when I try to print an eps file I am just getting a blank page without any errors (that I can find)
lp ./file.eps -d cups_pdf
is it more difficult than I imagine to print a .eps file, or am I missing something?
