I gave it some thought and said sure we can do that on FreeBSD, but then I had a quick look around and couldn't find anything. I was thinking of something along the lines of the Generic Text Only printer driver under windows printing to a lpr printer which was really just a script which feeds into sendmail or some other MTA. Has anyone heard of anything similar? Can anyone see any problem with what I am suggesting?
