I'd like to make a "printer" on my fedora box that actually just
generates a series of .png files for each page in a print image

I've found all the info I need to pass to ghostscript to get it
to do this (it has a handy png output driver built in), but
brain matter starts leaking out my ears when I try to understand
how to invent a .ppd file and integrate this with cups so I can
spool things to this "printer".

Anyone out there ever done such a thing and have some cofig files
I could steal?



I was looking at Netpbm tools the other day and I just did a search. There is 'pstoimg' and 'pstopnm' which will convert a ps file to an image.

Now if you could just pipe your ps file to these tools. Both use Ghostscript to process the ps file.
