Let me explain, i would like to have a repository of printed reports, i have a laser printer working with cups and a spool for pdf creation too, i would like to send jobs, lets say, to the reports spool, and this will send a copy to the real printer and another to the pdf creator script.

write a backend script that temporarily saves the PostScript job, feeds
it
through your PDF creating script and issues a print (lp or lpr) command
for your real printer.
