I'm more looking for a solution that uses cups/lprng/lpr to queue to ps2pdf then to a file that will be emailed to the user.

OK, this looks workable. I'll send you a cleanup patch once I get it working the way I want.
Which debian package do you think would be a good candidate to submit this to (after the cleanup of course) as an example script?

Ugly, huh? But it works.
