what I would like to do is have windows boxes print to a unix printer filter which would convert the file into pdf format and put the file into a directory where it could be emailed out. Anyone tried this? First off, I tried modifying the printcap if= entry to take the file and save it as a file. That was a no go - I just got an error. Now I am thinking about just stopping the printer, which would spool the files in the spool directory. I still need to initiate execution of a program to grab those files and convert them. I am about to start experimenting with this, but I thought that someone might have already done this type of thing.
