Re: [Printing-user-general] using cups with a2ps....

This is no problem. You only need to write a wrapper script (a little
program which calls a2ps, can be shell script, Perl, Python, ...) with
the command line syntax of a CUPS filter. Then rename texttops and
install the script as /usr/lib/cups/filter/texttops.

See

http://www.cups.org/documentation.php
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/man-filter.html
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB%3AUsing_Your_Own_Filters_to_Print_with_CUPS

for how to make such a CUPS filter and for other possibilities to
integrate it. It is the same way to proceed for both CUPS 1.1.x and
1.2.x and also for all distributions.
