I remember once using samba+ghostscript to setup a pdf printer plus the point-n-print drivers in the PRINT$ share for it, I then had the outputed PDF dumped to a share with rights just for the user who sent it, had it email the user with the URL of file, and had a cron job run once a day that deleted all PDFs older then X days.
I wish I had the exact recipe, but I remember modifying the samba print commands to send the job to ghostscript with the output path defined and then set the rights on it, then send the email to the user with the URL. Monitoring it is necessary as jobs can hang in the queue.
Sounds good, I was hoping the installed Windows Printer would return the file back to them As if the port was set to a file.
I'll read into this...
