I would like to set up my postscript print queue so that it invokes an
ascii to postscript filter if required.  What I would like is that the system
would pass encapsulated postscript files through untouched, but would 
automatically filter non-postscript files through something like 'lwf' or
'a2ps'.

Does anyone know how this can be done?
