>Actually that is what I working on... and I dont know, if there is a good answer.

>Talking with a friend of mine last last about the subject, (who is a unix / linux guru) and C++ fan, he told me the simplicity of using SAMBA to create - or redirect print requests to gs is something that NT cant eaisly duplicate. Because Linux / Samba can create printer drivers easily, and in Windows you really cant.

>What you can do, and maybe one of our associates here, can jump in tell us both how to put the final pieces of the puzzle togher, is
>
>1 you can get gs installed,
>2 GS comes with a batch file, called ps2pdf, which really does nothing more than call gs with a infile and outfile parameter , infile being a ps file, and outfile being a pdf file.
>3 you can create ps files, by using any number of 'free ps print drivers' out there. Here is one.

>But that last part, how do you automate NT, to call the ps2pdf batch file, whenever a print file is created into a directory... Does windows have Scripting host have a on event , where it could fire up,a batch file when a .ps file lands in a folder ?
>
>So far, the best my pea brain can say,is I could have an AT command, run evey 5 mintues, to run through evertyhing in a folder converting it to pdf files. (I know, it a sucky option)

>This is why my original post I thought was so clean, that it could be done in Linux. using spool files etc.

>Maybe someone smarter in the windows API, than myself, could tell us all, how this challange could be done.
