Hello Perlmonks
Maybe someone knows an open source Server Software that takes incoming cups printing data stream and converts this into a pdf file?
This should be stored (on a local) SMB Share if possible with details (extracted from printing stream) in filename ...
scheme:
Internet Print Server Cups (no control) ->
sends data to local "PDF Server" (full control, linux system) ->
store on SMB share ->
User copies pdf document on his windows desktop

<UPDATE> (external) Dealer System (CUPS 1.1.2.3 modified) sends print jobs to customers Site "Printer" regularly this would be a HP PCL/Postscript compatible Network Printer.
This should be changed for 1 Printer to a "general pdf printer" because around 150 users are printing unnecessary/seldom needed protocols "tons of paper"
So my task is to setup a linux box and tell "Cups Admins at Dealer Management" the target IP Adress,Port/socket, printing protocol e.g. they should send their printing data to customers "receiving pdf print box" ...


<UPDATE> Maybe someone already implemented this and knows a working solution?
Many thanks in advance
<Answer to replies> The Target Client System are Win7 Desktops but thats a later task ...
The Target "server system" will be a linux box Debian or ubuntu which i have to install.
Maybe i will try to get a working cups print server and try to generate "local stored pdfs" from another cups printer -
if this is working i contact "Dealer System Print Source" for further tests ...

Many thanks to RonW and jellisii2, all replies
