Again, I'm sorry to insist, but :

The sample configuration file includes an example explaining how to
remove duplicate jobs, so only one copy would be printed anyway.
And of course you can redirect the job's datas to any file,
in any directory, with the permissions you like.
And more !
With this software, you don't need to write ANY speciar backend
anymore, just plug any generic script, tool or command into its
infrastructure, and you're done.
