I want to set up a printing system so that each print job gets archived as a file, which can be later retrieved. These files could be just named as a numbered sequence. Anyone know of an (elegant) existing solution? It seems like years ago with BSD printing you could just not-delete the print jobs as they got printed. |

Cyber_rigger: Take a look at http://www.pykota.com/software/tea4cups and see if it does what you want. |

Thanks. I'll look into it. I think I also found something in lpd.conf. save_when_done (default: no) Save a job in the spool queue after completion rather than removing it. http://linux.die.net/man/5/lpd.conf |

> I think I also found something in lpd.conf. That should work if you're running lpr or lprng, but I doubt it'll work with CUPS. :( I'd love to be proven wrong, of course. |
