{{note box | this is a legacy solution but this could be an interesting thing to re-implement to use a network printer}}
 +
On SME 7 a solution was implemented using a network drive :
 +
PDF over Lan is a Samba email PDF printer for your SME 7 Server.
 +
The SME 7 Server user receives an email of the PDF and also the PDF is saved  \\servername\pdfdrop

===Install===
 +
wget http://mirror.canada.pialasse.com/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/contribs/zoneminder/smeserver-pdf-over-lan-2.0-01.noarch.rpm
 +
rpm -Uvh smeserver-pdf-over-lan-2.0-01.noarch.rpm

Installing Windows PDF Printer Driver Thanks to http://www.sonoracomm.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=170 (Gene Cooper)
 +
 +
Simple Method
 +
 +
Add a new network printer to the Windows client PC.  Browse to the \\server\pdf printer share and use the Apple Color Laserwriter 12/600 driver.
 +
Less Simple Method
 +
 +
This method may give you more control of your PDF output files.
 +
 +
On a Windows PC, download the Adobe postscript print driver and the Adobe Acrobat Distiller .ppd (postscript printer definition) file.
 +
 +
Extract the adobe.zip ppd archive and save the ADIST5.PPD (English) file. The others are for other languages.
 +
 +
The Adobe printer driver is a self-installing Windows executable. Run it and try to install the network PDF printer. When prompted, choose the ADIST5.PPD file and 'Acrobat Distiller'.
 +
 +
If you have problems getting the Adobe postscript driver installed as a network printer, try installing it as a local printer then go in to the printer properties after the installation and change the port to the UNC path of the printer (\\servername\pdf).
 +
Retrieve PDF Files
 +
 +
The newly created .pdf files are left in the \\servername\pdfdrop file share on the server.
 +
 +
You may choose to also modify the logon script to map a drive letter to this new I-Bay to make accessing the newly created PDF files easier.
 +
 +
 +
===Uninstall ===
 +
 +
rpm -e smeserver-pdf-over-lan
