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.

Take a look at [HYPERLINK@www.pykota.com] 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.

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.
