I do the following with samba in our office: (put this in you /etc/smb.conf) ----------------CUT HERE------------------------ [pdfprint] path=/tmp guest ok = No printable = Yes printer driver = HP Color LaserJet 5/5M PS comment = PDF Generator print command = ps2pdf %s %s.pdf && mv -f %s.pdf ~%u/newpdf.pdf && echo\ "Please find your pdf at file://\\caeprintserver\\%u\newpdf.pdf, and copy it som\ ewhere else before you print another" | smbclient -M %u -U Printserver ----------------CUT HERE------------------------ Install a PS print driver (HP Color LaserJet 5/5M PS works) on the clients, then if you print to the machine, it should make the psotscript a pdf, copy it to the home directory, and send you a popup message (I also had one which sends an email message, I would actually like to mail the file, but I was having trouble with MIME attachements). For straight postscript: ----------------CUT HERE------------------------ [psprint] path=/tmp guest ok = No printable = Yes comment = PostScript Generator Printer driver = HP DesignJet 750C/PS print command = mv -f %s ~%u/newps.ps && echo "Please find your ps at fi\ le://\\caeprintserver\\%u\newps.ps, and copy it somewhere else before you print\ another" | smbclient -M %u -U Printserver ----------------CUT HERE------------------------ The Designjet handles up to A0 (only in postscript, for some reason PDFs don't work) The coolest thing is a windows test page in a pdf !
