Does anyone know if it is possible to setup a printer so that any
print job sent to it is emailed to a designated address? For example,
I would like to set up a DMZ DHCP server to send each line of the log
to an email address in realtime. I have modified the syslog daemon to
send it to a printer, but I would rather have it send to an email
address. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What if you send the output of syslog to a named pipe, and wrote a
script to monitor the named pipe if there is something in it, email via
sendmail?

This may be an option. I will see what I can come up with. Thanks for
the information.
