This is an email printer driver for CUPS that I have experimented with. It is a derivative work of the cups-mailto project by Robert Sander. It will go through a slight tweaking to enable easier set-up and make it compatible with the new version of ps2pdf filter included in CUPS. The reason I created this project is to enable smooth, local-printer-like use experience when printing to school's printers from my Linux laptop.
CUPS printer drivers, backends and filters have been deprecated. It means that this driver will not be developed anymore. Similar functionality could be achieved using something like h2g2bob's IPP server.
- Troubleshoot and modify the ppd file to fix the compatibility problem with the current ps2pdf filter that causes blank borders in pages.
- Replace the mailfrom and mailto job options with printer options accessible from CUPS Web UI, see issue #1.
- Investigate and fix sandboxing conflicts that affect some systems (issues #3 and #4)
