The data sent to most printers is text with pcl or postscript commands. Ghost script should allow you to display postscript files and I am sure a pcl viewer exists on the net just a matter of finding it. capturing the data would require a service to act as a printer store a copy and then send a copy to the printer sounds easy but would need to understand the different types of printer communication protocols like LPR and the different ports used. At work I use a program called planet press suite 4 that you can set up as a LPR server to capture print data so that it can be processed then sent to a printer. We use it to capture output going to line printers, process the forms and then send to a laser printer. I am interested to see what turns up on this subject.

Hello! As part of a black box pen-test which i'll try to conduct in the company I work with, I would like to attempt a redirection or sniffing a printer's output. My thoughts regarding the subject were to try and see if i'm able to arp spoof the printer and it's default gateway, and then to sniff the traffic. As a result of this, I wonderd if there is any free software which I could use to redirect the sniffed data into an other printer. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Nadav
