THe current situation is this.
We use PHP for the warehouse tools section of the site. THe tools are
hosted on a server at Rackspace that is also connected via VPN to our
local network. We are trying to figure out how to do one of 2 things.
1.) have the files print locally on the workstations (Windows XP,
IE). We actually thought of the batch file but that would cause ALL
PDF to be sent to the batch file and we wouldnt want that.
2.) Have the server at rackspace send the lpr command to push the file
to the shared printer using lpr.
#2 is the way i am thinking of going. On the form there would be a
textbox that says Printer Name, they would scan a barcode that would
inject the printers shared name. lpr would send the command to that
shared printer.
The question is how do i know if the linux server at rackspace is
actually seeing the shared printers in-house here.
Thanks,
Joseph Crawford
I'd look at a mail-based solution (procmail?) for this. That might just
be me.
