I am wondering whether RasPI can be connected to a Windows PC through USB and appear to Windows as a printer. I want to process the PRINT command from Windows differently, say send that data to a webservice rather than printing it.
Is this possible?

Re: Raspberry PI AS printer
Hi,
Details are described here (swap word "display" with "printer" and the text becomes 100% applicable to your question): http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/viewto ... 56#p473056
Best wishes, Ivan Zilic.

Running out of GPIO pins and/or need to read analog values?

Re: Raspberry PI AS printer
Install cutepdf, that's a windows printer driver that writes a PDF. You can store the PDFs on your RPi and serve them out from there.aravindanr wrote:I am wondering whether RasPI can be connected to a Windows PC through USB and appear to Windows as a printer.
