creating pdf files from lpd

[Jeremy Fowler]

To answer your question, Yes it can be done. However it probably requires
hacking together a bash script or something. I'll do some research and see what
I come up with. What LPD daemon are you running? If your using LPRng checkout
the HOWTO on their homepage.

Subject: creating pdf files from lpd

I have the need to try to create pdf files from a postscript printer stream.
What I would like to do is:

Have a user send a print job to a lpr printer;
Have lpd take the job, create a pdf file,
Then take the file and mail it to the user.

This would all be automatic....can it be done?
