- doki_pen 14y agoapparently `lp -o raw -d "<yourprintername>" <FILE>` should print the pcl to your printer. I couldn't get it to work though. Maybe you're printer has to speak pcl. I tried cups-pdf (virtual printer) with no success.
- makomk 14y agoYeah, your printer has to speak PCL for that to work.

- WestCoastJustin 14y agoJust checked this out and it is much nicer! How are you producing these pdfs? I'm using the very low tech method of "print screen" ;)

- tekknolagi 14y agojenius, if I provide a VPS, would you be willing to set something up that fetches his spools, turns them into PDFs, and then uploads to that Scribd collection automatically? Or even lets you manually upload them? That would be fantastic.
- jenius 14y agoThat would be sweet. I'm not sure if scribd has some sort of api, but I would happily set them to convert and drop them in a public folder, could be a lot easier

- josephjrobison 14y agoIs there anyway to download the entire collection as a pdf?
- techpeace 14y agoI'll attempt to compress everything into one file after he finishes up.
- shubb 14y agoThanks for doing this. You made my night. Along with ~600 others at last count.
