HoldSlipPrinter

HoldSlipPrinter is a printer daemon/service that checks a mailbox for new emails. If the email received is a hold slip notification, the contents of the email will be sent to the printer for printing. In a nutshell what is does are :

  1. Checks for new email that matches the filter criteria i.e. subject, location, sender etc.
  2. Verify if this request has already been printed, if not send it to the printer.

Advantages:

  1. There is no graphical interface i.e. Less distraction and less point of error.
  2. Configuration/settings are located in a single configuration file.
  3. Print output is smaller than my currently installed Thunderbird workaround. Finally we can save from trees!
