The script was called as a printcap input filter (if=).  However, it didn't 
really "filter" anything.  It simply captured the input, reformatted it and 
stored it into separate text files in another spool directory.  The original 
print job is removed.  The queue is processed later by another application 
outside of the lpd/printing system.

In short, I basically want to be able to accept the data from a print job, 
massage it, store it somewhere else, and then be done.  If you can suggest how 
one might replicate this functionality using CUPS, that would be very helpful.  
 Thanks, Helge.
