That's half of it Kate, the cups installed on the clients needs to have "browser" enabled. Once that's done you can keep the chainsaws busy. Until you run out of ink or toner.
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.
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.
