Hi all,
possibly a silly question but is it possible to get lprng or the ifhp
filter to run an arbitary script on an error? We have a lab full of
students who will occasionaly send something obscure to the printer
which it can't cope with and can't print.(as in "hey manual tray, wonder
what that does" or Letter/envelope sized jobs to printers which only
handle A4)
Either we let the job foul the printer and the queues back up or we get
the printer to dump the job and we get a bunch of student claiming that
the printers aren't working, this hasn't been a problem in the past but
there's been a spate of jobs which have prompted me to action (possibly
this years students are better complainers than the last few years).
Ideally I'd like to run smbclient and winpopup a message letting them
know what happened to their job and why. Is there any way to do this
short of hacking the source?
