I'm working on a printer filter on a system using LRPng, that will
allow people to send printouts from a custom application through email
to designated addresses. I had this working before but unfortunately
the printer configuration tool wiped out the filter, and my backup
file was not good. Here is the current version of the code. It should
send the report as a plain text attachment to the email, so it can be
printed out directly.
---------- begin code -----------------
#!/bin/bash
# Capture the spool file
#
SPOOLDIR=$(pwd)
cat - >$SPOOLDIR/print.$$
#Declare variables
# path to temporary files
# FILE_PDF=$SPOODIR/print$$.pdf
FILE_PRINT=$SPOODIR/print.$$
# FILE_PS=$SPOODIR/ps.$$
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
EMAIL_FROM=
# Path to email server program
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix"
MIMENCODE="/usr/bin/mimencode"
# Do we need a username?
# How about a comment line, or header?
(
echo "To: $EMAIL_ADDRESS"
echo "From: $EMAIL_FROM"
echo "Subject: Outgoing Invoice print job"
echo ""
echo ""
echo `date`
echo ""
echo ""
echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=lprtomail"
echo "Content-Description: Delivery Invoice;"
echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"us-ascii\""
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"
echo ""
echo "This email contains an attachment which you can print on
your local printer"
echo "--lprtomail"
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo ""Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
cat $FILE_PRINT
echo "";
echo "";
) | 2>&1 $SENDMAIL -oi $EMAIL_TO
------------- end code ---------------------
