:for step-1, We use CUPS. The API has a nice array of functions, one of which is to get the printer's name (the cups-pdf virtual printer).( Since we know the name is CUPS-PDF, we can check it) and print our file as a PDF in the journal. For the sake of our python convenience we will be using a python wrapper to cups, pycups. The print objects will have metadata attached to them through the sugar datastore API.

:For the second part of it when ever the print page url is found, we make browse communicate with the moodle print queue through xmlrpc get the details, and upload to that many slots (as the number of slots will also be dependent on the print queue) This would essentially mean a rainbow hack so that browse can communicate with journal without a dialog. The execution part of this will take place dynamically as soon as the user requests the print page.
