Can you identify the printer name that is being shared? Are you using cups as a print server?<br />
You could attach a filter to the configuration that will capture the data stream that will pass the data to the printer if you still need to have it printed while a portion will create and store a file in a location that you specify.<br />
<br />
The issue might be that this specific printer is defined without a spool.<br />
<br />
Start from the workstation/system that's generating the print job to see how it is referenced, then work your way back to where it is, etc.

My company is running on an old system and 99% of the reports you can save to the disk and then open as a text file and work with them or send to a spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
There is one report that only prints to paper - it happens to be one that would save me tons of time if i could grab it somehow. &nbsp;I can FTP in - i can look through all temp files - but I can't seem to find where this temp print file may be located...any ideas where to look?

Linux Print Jobs (RedHat)

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
