How to make cups to automatically redirect prints that have more than 10 pages to specific printer

cupsprintingredirect

I have 2 printers on my cups server.
I want that when the print has more than 10 pages, it would be redirected to a specific printer.

How can I do that?

Never done this but see `man filter'. It describes cups filters. Maybe you could write your own filter that would detect number of pages and send it to specific printer.

Linux – How to construct url of windows shared printer for cups client

From this page:

smb
This backend sends print files to printers shared by a Windows host. Examples 
of CUPS device-URIs that may be used includes:

    smb://workgroup/server/printersharename
    smb://server/printersharename
    smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printersharename
    smb://username:password@server/printersharename

The smb:// backend is a symlink to the Samba utility smbspool (does not ship with
CUPS). If the symlink is not present in your CUPS backend directory, have your 
root user create it: ln -s `which smbspool' /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb .

How to send raw postscript to a remote printer via CUPS

You can tell it to send RAW using the following command:

lp -d printer_name -o raw filename

-o lets you specify an option. In this case, it specifies no PPD to be used.
