Setup an SMB printer on the linux box using printconf:
printconf-gui
or
printconf-tui
The following perl script is quick, dirty, and untested. but it should be
enough to give some ideas. Just use the procmail filter to pipe the
message into this script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Detach a PDF document from an email message and print it.
#
$pid = $$;
$scriptname = `basename $0`;
chomp $scriptname;
$temppdf = "/tmp/$scriptname_$pid.pdf";
$tempps = "/tmp/$scriptname_$pid.ps";
$printer = 'lp';
$foundbody = 0;
$foundpdfpart = 0;
$foundpdf = 0;
$pdfdone = 0;
while ($line = <STDIN>) {
if (! $foundbody) {
chomp $line;
if (length($line) == 0) {
$foundbody = 1;
}
if ($foundbody) {
if ($line =~ /^Content-Type: application\/pdf/) {
$foundpdfpart = 1;
}
if ($foundpdfpart) {
if (length($line) == 0) {
$foundpdf = 1;
open(PDF,"| mmencode -u > $temppdf");
}
if (($foundpdf) && (! $pdfdone)) {
print "$line\n";
if ($line =~ /^--/) {
$pdfdone == 1;
close(PDF);
system("pdf2ps $temppdf $tempps");
$result = system("lpr -P $printer $tempps");
unlink($temppdf);
unlink($tempps);
}
}
}
}
}
}
exit $result;
