Hi, (only) one of my applications (Maple) needs CUPS. Since I don't need a full grown printing service, how can I write tiny Python (or Perl) script which emulates a CUPS server which is recognized e.g. by Maple. Many thanks for a pointer, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
