Description

A virtual CUPS printer can save print jobs to a file and then open that file with a user-selected program. This is useful for workflows such as sending printed output directly into an image editor or document tool.

Automatic opening of printed files can expose private documents to the chosen application. Configure paths and target programs carefully, especially on shared machines.
