Full Discussion: Print to ps2pdf print queue
Operating Systems Solaris Print to ps2pdf print queue Post 302141792 by Sean_69 on Monday 22nd of October 2007 11:00:01 AM

A solution...
To answer my question...

I found a way by using a filter script. You can set up a filter script with "lpfilter" and then make a print queue, with "lpadmin", that uses the filter. In the filter script it is possible to copy, move, convert, ftp, etc... the files that arrive in the print spool.

I am sure I could also have done it with an interface script...

If anyone has any better ideas they are welcome to add them.
