If it's not a text document, you will probably need to work a little
harder.  I've never done what you're talking about for a printer file
but I'm guessing that you're gonna see pretty much a raw printer data
stream that can simply be sent back to the printer to get a printed
output.

Subject: Snarf files from a sniff dump

Hi List Members!


I am looking for a tool to snarf files (e.g. Word documents etc.) from a
sniff dump (e.g. ethereal or tcpdump) in an M$ Windows LAN (SMB) or
between a client and a printer (PS, PCL etc.). Does someone know such
tools (I know Dsniff, but it is not exactly what I am looking for)?

Thanks!

Istvan

You might try what was suggested above. A lot will depend on how the client talks to the printer. I know with HPs, you can just telnet right into port 9100, type whatever you want, and when you close the connection, everything you typed will just spew out printed. If the connection is something like that, then plaintext snarfing plus some editting might get you the document.
