[rabbitmq-users] ANN RabbitMQ as a text printer

[Gotthard, Petr]

Hi,

It is probably as crazy as it sounds and likely useless, but as a side-effect of one experiment I made a Line Printer (lpr) gateway, which turns RabbitMQ into a virtual printer and allows users to print a (text) message into an exchange. It works in the LPR to AMQP direction only, i.e. you cannot route a message to a printer.

If someone should find it useful, it is at Github:

Regards,
Petr
