Well, I have a small Java program that listens to a given port,
for example 9100, and "pretends to be a network printer" i.e. gets
all the data sent and writes it to a flat file. This might be a
start, as OUTSPTJ.PUB.SYS should have converted CCTL to plain PCL
when sending to a JetDirect printer.

However, this little Java program is just a quick & dirty experiment.

Lars.
