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.

Oh my ... that's the reason why I set up a "drop stuff here" folder
on the
only computer that's connected to a printer. Whenever I drop a file
into it, it gets printed and deleted.
Oh that's interesting. Never used that. Curiosity, best time waster ever invented!
That's why smartphones were invented. with smatphones nobody will ever feel
curiosity again!
