Re: line printer to email
I want to make sure I understand your question....are you asking to change the interface scripts on a printer to send the output to an email?
Why not just email the file instead of sending it to a printer?

Hello,
This is really quite easy, I just tested
this solution and it works
Use lpadmin to define a printer to print
to /dev/null like this:
lpadmin -pprintername -v /dev/null -mdumb
Then edit the model-script in /etc/lp/interface
directory. Modify it so that you embrace
all the statements that give output to
the printer in a pair of ( )
After the ) you redirect the output to a file
like this ) > /tmp/$$MAIL.tmp
Then add these lines
mail olav@hp.com < /tmp/$$MAIL.tmp 2> /dev/null
rm /tmp/$$MAIL.tmp
The statements that give output to the printer
are echo, and cat.
You should also comment out any stty commands
in the script.
