It has never been something I've needed to do, but if I had to do it,
I'd start by looking for a standalone filter. Maybe print/paps?
Whatever CUPS uses to do it may be standalone, in fact. CUPS may look
like a big monolithic thing, but is actually a bunch of pieces that
might be usable individually.
