CUPS-PDF - Printing to a PDF file on the network
I remember circa 2002/2003 Pulu and I experimented and put together a system whereby you can have all print jobs in a networked environment go to a PDF file (for archival reasons) before going out on the printers.
This software is designed to produce PDF files in a heterogeneous network by providing a PDF printer on the central fileserver. It is available under the GPL and is packaged for many different distributions or can be built directly out of the source files.
Apparently someone else thought of a better automated solution and created a program for it @ CUPS-PDF.
At the time, we thought that it was cool and infinitely most practical for archives that all networked print jobs should be archived as proper/certifiable copies of print documents sent out from an organisation. Now, with larger / cheaper disk space it should be seriously considered?
