It looks like PDF is a better candidate for me. Besides, the
filter path I need to change to below.
*cupsFilter: "application/pdf 0 pdftoMyprinter"
1.Under this path, no matter it is pure bitmap image file or
hybrid file, all of them will pipe into pdftoMyprinter and no
more pass through rastertoMyprinter. Right?
David Gelphman responded:
What this says is that your printer accepts PDF data and the cups
printing system will convert everything to that format and passed
to your driver. You will not see cups raster data if this is the
only cupsFilter entry in your PPD.

Not exactly. My printer DOESN' T accept PDF data.
Sorry for my incomplete statement. What I meant was that your printer
driver accepts PDF data and the filter you reference in your PPD file
is responsible for taking PDF data and turning it into printer ready
data. The printer ready data you create is completely up to you so if
you have a printer that handles vector data and bitmaps then whether
you produce vector data depends on your custom filter.
