http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook85.html#printing:textfilter
(the handbook example) shows how.  Using the "rattan" example you
mentioned, if you have a filter for your printer available on disk
(for purpose of discussion, lets say it's in /usr/local/libexec/myfilter),
you would modify the line starting with ":if=" to read
":if=/usr/local/libexec/myfilter:"

Once that's done, continue with the "Trying It Out" section in the
handbook.
