Hello
I'm using the KDEPrint/CUPS without big problems. I just have a small
change proposal on the "pdfdistiller" script. It's on the output name
generation section. Following the section with the change :
# generate output filename
OUTPUTFILENAME=
if [ "$3" = "" ]; then
OUTPUTFILENAME="$PDFDIR/unknown.pdf"
else
# OUTPUTFILENAME="$PDFDIR/${3//[^[:alnum:]]/_}.pdf"
# I changed this to user name, and the printtime to track down who
# printed the PDF and when, samba printing just uses nobody
#OUTPUTFILENAME="$PDFDIR/$2-$PRINTTIME.pdf"
#This line catch "Title" on the ps file head and set OUTPUTFILENAME.
#So we have just the real filename. It will help each file owner to
find their file on a very
#active print server. The user won't need to rename manually. But It
still have some
#throuble with special chars like deadkeys.
OUTPUTFILENAME="$PDFDIR/`cat $6 | grep -i title | cut -d: -f2 | cut
-d. -f1`.pdf"
echo "PDF file: $OUTPUTFILENAME placed in: $PDFDIR" >> $LOGFILE
fi
I hope it may help, and you may include it as one more option for the
next release.
Thanks a lot for the great job on the KDEPrint/CUPS.
