Hello,

as a semester project we have to implement a equivalent of fineprint(windows) for linux.
The first step is to create a virutal printer, that takes the print job and saves the postscript file to a specific folder, and launches an application afterwards.

There is that option to save a printjob to a file as postscript in cups, but there you have to select a file yourself.
Is there any information how to create a printer on the net? For exemple how to write a pdf printer from scratch ? (without the pdf part).

Thank you very much
