As I recall, on OS 9 and earlier files sent to a printer were stored

and if so, where does it put these files?
Panther uses CUPS (Common Unix Printing System, <http://www.cups.org>),
and queued print jobs are stored in /var/spool/cups, as PostScript
documents.
Dunno about Jaguar & earlier.
Obligatory Perl Reference: Although CUPS is installed and working (for
both native Mac and Fink-installed Unix apps), the development headers
are nowhere to be found, so Net::CUPS doesn't want to compile.
