Greetings,
Back in the day we had acquired (I guess from Easy SW or perhaps Apple) a set of shell scripts that were collectively called “JobCopy”, which included 4 scripts:
buffercups
jobcopyon
jobcopyoff
jobcopystatus
The purpose of this was to shim out the backends with a copy of the “buffercups” script, which would basically act as a wrapper for the “tee” command, to allow a copy of the print-ready bits to be saved in /tmp.
I was wondering if there was a more savvy way of doing this? Like is there a configuration directive or something that would get cupsd to insert a tee into the filter pipeline in between the last filter (“CUPS print driver”) and the port monitor and/or backend. I could dig myself but if anybody had some pointers I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks for any help,
Smith
