10.4: Create a virtual PDF printer WORKS
Works like a charm on latest 10.4.x as of June, 06.
MINOR PROBLEM: Even though, I made sure to edit the chown line of the above posting to add the path (/usr/sbin/chown $2 $OUTPUTFILENAME) the doc is still owned by root. Anybody good at scripts who can tell me how to change that chown line or chmod line? WORKAROUND: Open the PDF, save it to another folder somewhere. Create a chron job to clean the originals nightly. + Also, got it to work from my Windoze XP box. Here's what I did: - After following the above instructions to the letter (well, almost, I did set the print path to inside a SAMBA shared directory), I opened up the Control Panel and verified that the PDFWriter was shared (under Printers & Faxes). - I also went to the CUPS control panel (browse to 127.0.0.1:631) to verify that the PDFWriter was there. - On WinXP, I clicked on Printers and went through the Add Printer 'wizard', selected Network Printer. - Entered my server's IP address: http://ipaddress:631/printers/PDFWriter - Selected print driver by GENERIC and used the "MS Publisher Color Printer" driver. Works like a freakin charm! Thanks to all those above who have been hammering this one out.
