使用脚本作为打印机处理输出 (PDF)

Sim*_*mon 8 scripts printing

我想添加一个“虚拟”打印机,以便从任何软件轻松发送 PDF 输出。打印机应该是一个脚本,然后处理 PDF 输出。用例可以是“打印到云存储”或“打印到存档”等。

到目前为止,我发现的可能性是:

  • CUPS 管道后端此处描述)在 Ubuntu 上似乎不可用。
  • Tea4cups来自此线程lp在预处理后将文件转发到。但我不想实际打印它。

是否有另一种更简单的方法可以将 PDF 通过管道传输到自定义 bash 脚本中?

线索似乎在您问题的第一个链接中。研究表明后端只是脚本。所以你可以简单地编写自己的。但是,您正在寻找的可用于 OpenSuse 的脚本似乎在您的第一个链接中有所描述。

openSUSE RPM 包 cups-backends 提供了 bash 脚本 /usr/lib/cups/backend/pipe,它是用于打印到任何程序的包装后端。

由于 OpenSuse 现在使用 .ymp 一键安装程序,因此查找此脚本很复杂,您必须深入挖掘才能找到包含该脚本的实际 .rpm。这是直接取自 cups-backends-1.1-296.6.noarch.rpm 的示例,此处提供。

使用文件滚轮打开包并导航到/./usr/lib/cups/backend/包内并打开会pipe显示以下脚本:

#! /bin/bash
# CUPS wrapper backend "pipe" for printing to any program.
# It forwards the print job data like a pipe into another command.

# Activate the "set -x" line to get debugging info in /var/log/cups/error_log:
#set -x

# Output "Device Discovery" information on stdout:
if test "$#" = "0"
then
  echo 'direct pipe "Unknown" "Forward print job data like a pipe to another command"'
  exit 0
fi

# Output usage information in case of wrong number of parameters:
if test "$#" != "5" -a "$#" != "6"
then
  echo 'Usage: pipe job-id user title copies options [file]' 1>&2
  echo 'Queue setup example:' 1>&2
  echo 'lpadmin -p queue_name -v "pipe:/path/to/command?option1=value1&-option2&value2" -E' 1>&2
  echo 'The command is called with the specified options as:' 1>&2
  echo '/path/to/command option1=value1 -option2 value2' 1>&2
  echo 'The original command line parameters (... job-id user ...)' 1>&2
  echo 'are provided as environment variables PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV[0-6]' 1>&2
  exit 1
fi

# Keep the original command line parameters (... job-id user ...)
# in environment variables to make them available for the command:
export PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV0="$0"
export PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV1="$1"
export PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV2="$2"
export PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV3="$3"
export PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV4="$4"
export PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV5="$5"
export PIPE_BACKEND_ARGV6="$6"

# Have the input at fd0 (stdin) in any case:
if test -n "$6"
then
  exec <"$6"
fi

# To be on the safe side clip anything after the first space character
# because spaces are excluded characters in a URI (see RFC 2396):
URI=${DEVICE_URI%% *}
# Extract the command to which the job schould be sent from the URI.
# Clip the URI scheme (anything up to the first ':' character) and
# clip anything after the first '?' character
# because anything after the first '?' character are options:
COMMAND=${URI#*:}
COMMAND=${COMMAND%%\?*}
# Extract the options (e.g. from 'pipe:/path/to/command?option1=value1&-option2&value2'
# clip anything up to the first '?' character and
# replace the options separator '&' character by a space:
OPTIONS=${URI#*\?}
if test "$OPTIONS" = "$URI"
then
  OPTIONS=""
fi
OPTIONS=$( echo "$OPTIONS" | tr '&' ' ' )
# Options could have been specified in a wrong way
# as addendum to the DeviceURI separated by spaces
# (spaces are excluded characters in a URI, see RFC 2396)
# which works by luck at least for some CUPS versions
# see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499735
# like 'pipe:/path/to/command option1=value1 -option2 value2'
# nevertheless use additionally those kind of options too:
MORE_OPTIONS=${DEVICE_URI#* }
if test "$MORE_OPTIONS" = "$DEVICE_URI"
then
  MORE_OPTIONS=""
fi
OPTIONS=$( echo "$OPTIONS" "$MORE_OPTIONS" | tr -s ' ' )

# Test if the command is executable:
if ! test -x "$COMMAND"
then
  echo "Cannot execute $COMMAND" 1>&2
  exit 1
fi

# Replace this wrapper with the actual command
# so that it exits with the exit code of the command
# and that the command gets any signals directly.
exec "$COMMAND" $OPTIONS

由于这是一个 bash 脚本,您应该能够将它与任何版本的 'nix 一起使用,包括 Ubuntu,使用 bash shell,而不仅仅是 Suse。

为了将后端添加到 cups,您需要将其复制到/usr/lib/cups/backend设置权限和所有权以匹配。

chown root:root /usr/lib/cups/backend/pipe

chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/backend/pipe
