Description-en: Swiss Army's knife of advanced CUPS administrators
Tea4CUPS is a CUPS backend wrapper which can capture print datas before they
are sent to a printer and process, duplicate or dispatch them in a number of
ways.
.
Tea4CUPS is the Swiss Army's knife of the advanced CUPS administrator, and
can easily replace or extend most of the existing specialized CUPS backends
(pdf, email, ftp, etc...).
.
You are greatly encouraged to use this software instead of writing your own
CUPS backends: Tea4CUPS will let you plug your own scripts, filters, tools,
or commands wherever you want, while giving them access to all the print
job's characteristics in a consistent way.
.
Tea4CUPS makes all information about the current print job, in particular the
job's datas and attributes, available to your own commands through environment
variables.
.
The possibilities are endless:
.
- Your own commands can optionally decide to discard the current print job
instead of printing it.
- Send the same job to several printers at the same time, which is not
possible with CUPS.
- Automate the PDF archiving of all print jobs.
- Forbid duplicate print jobs (a simple example is shown in the sample
configuration file).
- Easily create a print accounting solution.
