Guys, I was about to setup Acrophobia but I don't want the file people print to be emailed back. Anyone got a reco on a setup that can be mapped as an SMB printer and return the file back to the user from the printer just like how setup my windows PS printer to print to file. Thanks! jlc

I wish I had the exact recipe, but I remember modifying the samba print commands to send the job to ghostscript with the output path defined and then set the rights on it, then send the email to the user with the URL. Monitoring it is necessary as jobs can hang in the queue. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

It will save it in a shareable directory by username, or in the users home directory. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

If I could map the toplevel directory of my private folders on the CentOS box from the windows fileserver, that would be sweet. I already saw this but didn't see how it gleaned the windows username from the user printing. Thanks! jlc
