Arrow Monitor a cups spool directory


Hi,

When cups spools to /var/spool/cups I would like to be able to copy the print file to another location.

I would also like to intercept other information such as user, job description so that I can use this to catagorise the copied print file.

Is this trivial to accomplish?

My /etc/printcap file has the following lines:

=============== snip ===================
# This file has been automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file will be lost

optera|optera:rm=mightymouse.local:rp=optera:

=============== snip ===================

Many thanks,

Dave Coventry
