 |
|
Hi!
I would like to configure my linux printserver so anybody could print over e-mail.
This will look like this:
Someone sends me an e-mail with an text file attached on a secret e-mail adress
The text file goes to cups and to the printer
Is this possible and what programs do i need?
Tnx |

my_nick,
I haven't tested this, but I would suppose you could put a command in the secret emails .forward file. I use vacation in the .forward like this:
| Code: | \eric, "|/usr/bin/vacation eric"
|
This would keep messages for eric and send a vacation message from eric. I would think you could just put a "|lpr" in your .forward file. This would send the full email to the printer including headers I think. You could right a script to filter those out if you want. Hope this helps,
vector
