[mdlug] CUPS/Samba HP Color Laserjet and Watermarking

Robert Adkins,

Robert Adkins> Anyone here familiar with setting up CUPS/Samba print sharing
               to allow end users to be able to apply watermarks at their
	       desktop and have those print out at the print server?
Aaron Kulkis> Sounds like a job for ImageMagick...(superimpose the watermark,...

I use a personal script to add watermarking to images.  The watermarked images
can then be printed.

<hint>
convert -average $original $original $original $watermark
(from ImageMagick) can insert a watermark at any rational transparency.

<hint>
Most distros use preprocessing filters provided by the ghostscript package.
You could add a watermark filter.

Hopefully helpful,
