It doesn't read STDIN specifically, but where the CUPS print job 
comes from (usually it is STDIN, but for raw jobs it is not). This 
is made transparent by Tea4CUPS for your own scripts though, you 
simply have to read from the file pointed to by the $TEADATAFILE 
environment variable, made available by Tea4CUPS to all its 
subprocesses (i.e. your own scripts)

Depending on your release of CUPS (you need >1.1.14) Tea4CUPS will 
appear in the printer's device drop down list in CUPS' web UI or not.

Anyway, Tea4CUPS is entirely "hidden" since you don't launch it from
the command line, but only as a CUPS backend.
