Make two separate "printers" (just spools, really) with the separate
filters.  I can't be specific with the printcap itself since I never
made one.  When I was on RH 'printtool' did it, and now I use CUPS.

Two problems here (I think) :
    '>' will overwrite the existing file, use '>>' instead
    $(...) executes the command '...' in a subshell; don't you mean
        ${...}?

Microsoft encrypts your Windows NT password when stored on a Windows CE
device. But if you look carefully at their encryption algorithm, they
simply XOR the password with "susageP", Pegasus spelled backwards.
Pegasus is the code name of Windows CE. This is so pathetic it's
staggering.
