My print2pdf script assumes you have a Samba server on the network, and that the clients are Winboxes. You configure a Postscript printer at each client (the script gives references that explain how to semi-automate the driver setup), and setup a Samba print share that points to the script. The Windows user prints to a network "printer" and gets the PDF back via email. No looking around a file server for cryptically named files, and no cron jobs. Just print the document and wait for it to show up in your email. The script uses the Samba-provided username to deliver the mail. It can deliver to username@localhost, or [EMAIL PROTECTED], or it can perform and LDAP lookup to resolve the username to an SMTP address. If the username cannot be resolved, the PDF is sent to root (configurable). It can even send a WinPopup-style notice when the conversion is complete, including the email address where the message will be delivered. The script is well documented and thoroughly explains everything that's going on. If you need to make any adaptations for your situation, it should be easy to do so if you know a little Perl. http://www.pobox.com/~agreene/downloads/ On top of all that, the maintainer is easy to reach, and is responsive to questions and problems. ;-) -- Tony -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
