I'm creating a samba printer that will email a PDF, could be usefull for
emailing POs ect. I have the script and printer setup, I modified the
script to create a PDF from samba, and had it attach to an email and
send, rather than save it in a users home directory. It works fine when
I hard code the to address in the script. I was wondering how to pass an
email address to samba from windows, so I can then hand it to my script.
I assume I may need a custom print driver?
My Setup:
[pdfmail]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
print command = /usr/bin/emailpdf %s %u
lpq command =
lprm command =
emailpdf:
#!/bin/sh
DATE=`date +%b%d-%H%M%S`
OUTDIR=/tmp
/usr/bin/ps2pdf13 /tmp/$1 $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
chmod 660 $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
sendEmail -m "Emailed PDF" -f xxx at dynabrade.com -t xxx at dynabrade.com -u
"Emailed PDF" -a $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
rm $1
rm $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
