CUPS PDF Printer that prompts for save location?
Hello,
I have a CUPS PDF printer setup that saves files to either: A set location or The user's home directory This would be nice but our users don't have a home directory; they are authenticating through Samba but don't have actual accounts on the server. I could possibly go through and setup a PDF share that all files go to, maybe even extend that to USERNAME/PDF and then require authentication to get to the files, but that seems like a more difficult solution (and time consuming) than simply have a prompt asking where to save the file. Is there something out there that prompts for the save location instead of having a hard-coded value? Thanks! -Chad |
You can install PDFCreator locally on the computer and it will prompt you to save to a directory. CUPS-PDF is for the server to print then dump on a server directory only.

It's been a few years, and I don't have the script handy anymore, but I recall that I used a way to e-Mail the generated document to the user ... there's a way to get the user name from a variable via samba and script that. Might be worth evaluating? Cheers, Tink |
