If you can, email the user a pdf :-)
I went to a lot of trouble many years ago printing via samba on AIX to local
windows printers, and while it worked, it was painful to support (and then the
requirements changed to have remote users with ssh but not vpn access).
You can do some amazing things in those custom printing scripts though...
dsir...@x04ifl01:/usr/local/bin ->cat spoolmail
#!/bin/sh
# Email the spooled file to the current user
# Parameters: 2 = full path to file
if [ "$1" == "TXT" ]; then
file=/tmp/report.$$.txt
# Leave things alone
perl -p -e 's/\n$/\r\n/;' $2 > $file
else
# RTF is the default
file=/tmp/report.$$.rtf
# Copy the header to a working copy
cp /usr/local/lib/TEMPLATE.RTF $file
# Append the report to the working copy
cat $2 >> $file
# Swap page breaks ^L for \\page and \n for \\par
perl -i -n -e 's{^L}{\\page }g;chomp;print $_,q(\\par );' $file
# Add a final paragraph marker to the end
echo \\par }} >> $file
fi
# Figure out who to send to
TO=`getalias $LOGNAME`
FROM=$TO
# Check for addresses that should be sent confidential
SUBJECT="Your report"
expr match $TO .\*customer.com > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
SUBJECT="Confidential: $SUBJECT"
fi
# Send it, already
/usr/local/bin/uuenview -b -f $FROM -m $TO -s "$SUBJECT" $file
rm $file

We are looking for remote printing options from Unidata for VPN users.
Currently using a remote print manager called RPM by Brooks.
Cisco VPN
RS6000/AIX
Unidata 7.1
Primac business software
What are other companies using for this purpose?
Thanks. Steve
