Question : Problem: How to hijack a print job sent to a printer?

Hi,

I have a printer the is used by remote external users to print out business orders. However we noticed that a lot of these printouts are not required and wasting a lot of papers.

Is there any way to hijack the print jobs onto a PC and convert them to soft copy like PDF format before deciding whether to print them?

The remote system initiating the print jobs is a legacy system which I have no control over and according to the sys admin, there is no way to stop the unnecessary print jobs....

aprreciate if someone can assist... thank you

A non elegant solution would be to leave the printer offline so nothing prints and have someone monitor the print queue and only enable the printer when required.
Or perhaps create a dummy print queue for these jobs and manually move the required ones to the real printer manually.
