Command description

I really don't know what is ippeveps and how to use it but are you sure that tldr contains working examples for it? For example, tldr advice in my Ubuntu 25.10 produces

$ ippeveps /dev/random 
ERROR: CONTENT_TYPE environment variable not set, aborting.

And the same problem after ippeveprinter -k -D print -c /usr/sbin/ippeveps "Qwe" also. Even ippeveps --help produce the same error.

$ tldr ippeveps

  ippeveps

  Print to Adobe PostScript printers.

On my system ippeveps gets installed in usr/lib/cups/command/ippeveps which would imply that it's meant to be run with a specific script that sets $CONTENT_TYPE itself. Could you research more on this?

Unfortunately my skills not enough for this research... Need help @sebastiaanspeck @gutjuri @kbdharun @vitorhcl

Is this an issue with tldr or ippeveps itself? If it is the latter, we'll close this issue, since we don't solve tools itself.

To me it's a question of "should this be documented in tldr"
