i need to emulate print server on device running FreeBSD (which do other
things in the same time) - as standard port 9100 not lpd.
Can it be done.
yes i know i can just add to inetd.conf cat >/dev/ulpt0 BUT
- it will accept a connection even if printer is not connected
- it doesn't work bidirectionally (usually not needed but anyway)
Anyone knows a program from ports (or not) to do this?
Install CUPS (from our ports), catch the incoming data on 9100 with
ncat(1) (from ports) and pipe the data to a "lpr -P.... -o raw" command (of
CUPS)
which puts a job on the queue for your printer until the
printer comes ready.
netcat is already in base as nc(1).
