java - Capture virtual printer output on linux -


I am writing a Java screen-scrapping application for a 3270 mainframe and instead of scrolling through the page, 80x24 characters On page I want to output all the pages to a printer and then want to capture and parse the printer output.

The 3270 client has a print option, so I need to virtualize the printer device and then somehow to capture the output. Has anyone acquired it before Linux?

You probably want to make an LPD-queue for this purpose and then hook into it.
