we do this - it converts the printed doco into a pdf, and mails it to the
user. very tidy. i can't remember where i found it (i didn't write it, i
just set it up on our server ) :o)
but it's very nifty. text is very clear, graphics rendering not so good.
overall excellent.

Subject: LPRng: Printing to an email attachment.
Just wondering if someone could point me to an example of printing to an
email attachment. I would like to set up a printer where the output
would be forwarded to the users email.
