[Samba] Modified Cups Backed pdf writer to keep the original document name.

[Matthew Western]

Hi All,
I've got a samba/cups pdf writer going thanks to PeteFwee and Wolfram Q and
a few others...  the cups pdf backed i used has a default of
username-date.pdf which I didn't like and wanted the name of the job that
got send in the printer q on the winslows client.

The only way I could see in my very limited experience was to grab the
%%Title out of the postscript file and make sure that it didn't have any bad
characters.

I also did a few extra lines to send the .pdf to the person that sent it
(thankfully that was already passed though).

Here it is.  I didn't use awk when i probably should of because i'm crap at
regular expressions.  Real programmers might have a laugh and my error
checking is non-existant, but it worked for me and may be useful to some
newbie out there somewhere....

thanks goes to Michael Goffioul for writing the orginal script which i got
from
http://printing.kde.org/downloads/pdfdistiller and the how to posted
originally to samba by Tom.    i'd be interested in any feedback about how i
should have used awk so i can learn.  :)


Regards
Matthew

# This script is intended to be used as a CUPS backend, to create
# PDF file on-the-fly. Just create a printer using the device uri
# pdf:/path/to/dir/. When printing to this printer, a PDF file
# will be generated in the directory specified. The file name will
# be either "<jobname>.pdf" or "unknown.pdf", depending whether the
# jobname is empty or not.
#
# To use it, simply copy this script to your backend directory, and
# create a printer with the correct URI. That's it.
