Is there a Linux printer driver that can print to JPEGs, one per page?
June 8th, 2010
I know there are some ‘virtual printer driver’ programs that look like another named printer and can print web-pages, word-processor documents or anything to PDF files instead of paper, but do you know one that can print directly to a set of JPEG images of the pages, one JPEG per page?
I’m experimenting with displaying text/web pages on a digital photo frame, JPEG CDs or flash drive in a DVD Player and a few other things.

I hope you know how to install printer in linux.
when it asks to select model just select ‘generic’ printer it will create a “virtual printer” for you.
Hop it helps you!
You can print to a PostScript file, then use Ghostscript (gs executable) to convert to JPEG:
gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=file.jpg file.ps
Various additional options will let you set the resolution and other options. You can also do this to various other formats, like PNG or TIFF.
