Brief tips about openoffice print doc to tiff format

• add a socket printer, using "lpadmin -p tofile -E -v socket://localhost:12000 -m raw"
• nc -l -p9100 >filename.out, listen on port 9100 and expert into file filename.out.
• a server listening on port 12000:
  

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use IO::Socket::INET;
  $myport=12000;
  $pserve=IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => $myport,Type=>SOCK_STREAM,Reuse=>1,Listen=>1) or die "can't do that $!\n";
  while ($pjob=$pserve->accept()) {
    open(J,">>/private/tmp/x") or print "having issues $!\n";
    print J "New job...\n";
    while (<$pjob>) {
      print J "$_";
    }
    close J;
    close $pjob;
  }
