Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a pinch with some serious crunch time. Our office machines do their work via an RDP connection and use ThinPrint under Windows to print over RDP. Cortado recently released ThinPrint for Linux and I installed it on a machine I was working on. This machine is for the property manager of the complex I work for and her machine had recently been hit by a Crypto-Ransomware and lost all her work. (no she did not backup and her AV was McAfee Security Scan........pretty stupid but not my call).
Anyway, I installed Linux as a host OS and installed Win 7 pro in a VM. ThinPrint works fine under the VM but the VM eats system resources and lags at times. I can do the RDP session with Remmina no problem but getting the Linux client of ThinPrint to talk to the RDP server just aint happening.
I did some digging around for a script or program that would watch a folder for any PDF that is added to the folder. It would then print it directly using the CUPS printer specified and then make a backup copy of the file, move the file to a separate folder and delete the original.
I found some referencing a tool called inoticoming and tried it out but nothing happened. Even when I put a pdf in the folder. So, I am needing to get this done by Saturday or sooner. Would someone help a brother out? Im trying to either fix ThinPrint or bypass it altogether. The RDP server can either print via ThinPrint OR save to PDF which is where the shared folder comes into play.
