Samba PDF Email

[Darin Perusich]

i don't think this is possible, you might want to take a look at 
modifying smbfax. it works similare to what you're trying to do, you 
create a generic printer and print to it, then behind the scenes it 
emails the user a link to a website where you fill in the info, name, 
company, fax number, etc.
