Hi Nik,
Do you use incron (incrontab) for this? You willing to share
your script (assuming it's in bash)?
Oh, that's just some lines in /etc/rc.local:
(
mkdir /tmp/xxx
inotifywait -m /tmp/xxx -e CLOSE_WRITE | while read a; do
b=$(echo "$a" | cut -d ' ' -f 3-)
lpr "$b" && rm "$b"
done
) &
now copy anything you want to print to /tmp/xxx ... hopefully you
have set up filters for all the strange files that are not ps, pdf
ot txt ... and you could do some better sanity checking :) Oh,
you need inotify-tools, too.
Curiosity, best time waster ever invented!
That's why smartphones were invented. with smatphones nobody will
ever feel curiosity again!

As a much younger person once very patiently tried to explain to me:
one must be "smart enough" to use a smartphone.
I prefer "braindamaged" or "smombie". I remember school as beeing a
noisy place. At my last visit the brainded sat side by side staring at
a small flickering device - and it was ghostly quiet! Luckily we have
"homeschooling" now. The greatest challenge is hitting the keys in a
top-down mototion in contrast instead of swiping. Oh my, I'm getting
old and grumpy :)
Nik
Get in line Nik, it starts behind me. ;)
