Your filter does not match the command line requirements for filters
(see the
software programmers manual):
- job-id (a number)
- username
- the job's title
- number of copies (an integer)
- additional options (a string containing white sopace separated
substrings)
- [optional:] pathname of the file to process; read from stdin if this
parameter
  is missing
