ipSpool is a queue processor that manages the pipe between a printer and an internet address.
The story so far:
I have recently purchased a FRITZ!Box fon WLAN 7170 router. This device
supports printing using the 'raw' print spooling mechanism, on port
9100.
No printer driver exists on OS/2 or eCS to support this 'protocol',
if you can call it that. We do have named pipes though, so I decided it
could not be too hard to simply spool the data from a named pipe to the
ip address of the router. This actually works brilliantly!
ipSpool is based on the spool driver quePDF written for ePDF. ePDF
is a PM tool for postscript to PDF conversion, which uses GhostScript
as back-end. You can obtain it from:
