  1 - Install Tea4CUPS and setup your print queue to "tea4cups://"
  
  2 - In tea4cups.conf set :
  
      --- CUT ---
      prehook_addtofile: /bin/cat $TEADATAFILE >>/path/to/yourfile
      --- CUT ---
      
      This way, all print jobs will be concatenated to 'yourfile'.
      
      NB : with a single > you will overwrite the file, with two
           you'll append at the end.
