Thanks for the idea, I have a hylafax server we use, I'll play see what
I come up with, not sure if it's even got any practical use....<br>

<pre wrap="">Just a thought... You could install Hylafax on Linux and use one of the Hylafax
clients on windows. I've done this before. You might have to mangle the
windows end to fill in the information from the driver but I think that one of
the client programs is written in python, you might be able to modify it to
accept the destination information from the business system as command line
arguments.
Just a thought...
Cheers!

<pre wrap="">yeah thats a posibility but I was hoping to do this for Purchase Orders
and such generated from our Buisiness System (oracle reports). We fax
POs internationally, easier and cheaper to email them. Wouldn't work to
well for that. May have to settle for emailing it to the users, and then
they could forward the email.

Subject: Samba PDF Email
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">I'm creating a samba printer that will email a PDF, could be usefull for
emailing POs ect. I have the script and printer setup, I modified the
script to create a PDF from samba, and had it attach to an email and
send, rather than save it in a users home directory. It works fine when
I hard code the to address in the script. I was wondering how to pass an
email address to samba from windows, so I can then hand it to my script.
I assume I may need a custom print driver?
My Setup:
[pdfmail]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
print command = /usr/bin/emailpdf %s %u
lpq command =
lprm command =
emailpdf:
#!/bin/sh
DATE=`date +%b%d-%H%M%S`
OUTDIR=/tmp
/usr/bin/ps2pdf13 /tmp/$1 $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
chmod 660 $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
sendEmail -m "Emailed PDF" -f <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:xxx@dynabrade.com">xxx@dynabrade.com</a> -t <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:xxx@dynabrade.com">xxx@dynabrade.com</a> -u
"Emailed PDF" -a $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
rm $1
rm $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf

<pre wrap="">Maybe have the user put the recipient's email in the document, then you
could use awk to pull out <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="Email:user">"Email:user"</a>. I did this to pull out a word
documents title before I fax it.
