here is a small excerpt from one of my filters.
echo $'\x1b'%-12345X at PJL COMMENT

please note that you will also need to make a ppd, and mime types / convs most likely to force it through your filter.


> you can, first step is to keep the windows driver and everything, but change the port to a local port and print to something like c:\test.txt.  once you print, see what the PJL commands it adds are.  once you know what to add, make a custom filter that just echos them to stdout and the cats out $6 after the PJL stuff. we do this for various secure print products.  You can even flex based on some of the other variables or data inside of $6 to give you better PJL output.  Hope tha thelps.

In order to release the job, the user must select it, then enter their PIN.  This is done by by the Windows drivers inserting some special PJL into the job stream.
