This may not be news for many on this list, but I just figured this out.
My client wants me to print a PDF file stored on our Linux server to a
specific printer at a specific time.
The timing it not important. But, since Filepro uses raw printing, I
never had to print a PDF document to directly to a printer on a Linux
system.
This is what I did: (Centos Linux)
# cd /usr/share/cups/model
# gunzip laserjet.ppd.gz
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p TESTPDF -v socket://richard:9100 -E -P
/usr/share/cups/model/laserjet.ppd
Now I can just use a system command lp -PTESTPDF mypdfdocument.PDF.
It prints perfectly.
Hope this helps someone,
Richard D. Williams
