It works for me.  It should work, if you get all the information
right and have the files (such as the filter) permitted right.
It's a little tricky to debug if you have something wrong, but
in a general sense it should work.

Do you get an error, do your files disappear completely, or do
they print fine but print as if they were never sent thru the
filter?
