Re: print to pdf?

[Chris Mason <masonc masonc com>]

Even with a windows client, if the samba print system is cups, I don't
think it ever gets to your script. I tried it that way and it wouldn't
work.

If you are using CUPS, then there's no reason to do anything else. If
not, then samba is the way to go. Your script should work without much
modification as a CUPS backend, so it's not a rewrite or anything.

BTW, I've been reading the kdeprint documentation abut CUPS and it's a
really wonderful system, I'm very impressed.
