The channel module I created requires you to 
specify the complete path. You can use any folder 
you like, as long as you know which one it is. 
There might be an alternative to CUPs. If you 
reserve a print form for just that purpose, you 
could "print" it as a PDF, using the standard 
dialog, and then after that use PrintOneRecord "" 
to have it create PDFs in the same folder, with 
the same name. Use FileRename, if you need to 
protect it from being overwritten by the next 
one. I believe the PDFs created by the standard 
dialog are much smaller than those created by 
CUPs. I did a little experimenting with that 
idea, and it seems to work, but I think it would 
take more extensive testing, over a longer period 
of time, to be sure.
