[cups.general] Print to a file

[Silvio Ferreira Mendes]

Hi, Currently I have a solution maybe you can use. I configured PDF backend
and before print to PDF I capture the file sent by server and copy it to
other directory. Was configured one printer without driver only using RAW
driver.

In this way print to physical printer is not necessary.

How do you configure CUPS-PDF ? Do you have PDF backend ?

bye,

Silvio.
