Puppet users - Nov 2013 - Simplest manner to print a node's catalog

Hello, list:
	Today a coworker and I were trying to find the easiest way to
print the catalog for a node running Puppet 2.6.x (I know, I advised an
upgrade) and were coming up empty handed.  On a Puppet 3.2.4 node I
found /var/lib/puppet/client_data/catalog/${fqdn}.json, but that didn''t
exist on the 2.6.x host.  I couldn''t find any "puppet
[argument]"
commands that worked.  I was hoping to find something easier than
hitting the PuppetDB API with curl.
	Can someone advise on commands to print the catalog on a node,
preferably backwards compatible with Puppet 2.6? Thanks.

Hey Tom,

This works on puppet 2.6.3 (on Ubuntu 10.04)

#puppet master --compile nodename
